Thanks for visiting my justgiving page.....I hope that you able to donate.

This year I have decided to shed the lbs that I have accumulated since uni and take on 3 major challenges. First the London Marathon, followed by (not on the same day) a 100 mile bike ride and an half ironman triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike & 13.1 mile run). I've never completed any of the above, but am looking forward to the challenge and would really appreciate your support in reaching my minimum amount of £1750. 

Why the British Lung Foundation (BLF)?

In 2009 Karen & Christopher Puddifoot, along with their friend Tim Roney, set off to cycle around the world to raise money for the BLF.  Having completed the European leg of their journey, covering over 3000miles, Karen and Tim continued on to Asia, with Chrissy to join them in Australia. On the Asia leg of their trip, their fundraising turned to tragedy as Karen and Tim passed away on September 24th in Halong Bay, Vietnam whilst aboard a pleasure boat which capsized. 

Chrissy was a great support for his parents and began to talk of continuing the fundraising he had begun, when on November 10th 2009 Chris passed away following a road traffic accident.

I had been raised very closely to Karen and Chrissy, having shared many holidays and Christmases together and referred to them as cousins and their parents as aunt and uncle. Following the tragedies of late 2009, family and friends have continued the good work that Karen, Chrissy and Tim started for the BLF. 

I now want to do my part, so rather than asking you to donate for just the London Marathon, I'd ask you to dig deep for all three of the challenges which I plan on completing during 2013.  Every penny and pound raised will go to help the crucial work that the BLF continues to do.

For your generosity, I thank you.
