Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Rays of Sunshine grant wishes to brighten the lives of children who are living with serious or life-limiting illnesses, between the ages of 3-18, across the United Kingdom.  I am delighted to be able to make a small contribution to help them in helping others by taking on a bit of a challenge to raise awareness and funds.

A year ago, as I tried to get fit and set a good example for my children, I was barely able to run 5km without picking up injuries.  I did the obvious thing and signed up to the 106km Isle of Wight Ultra Marathon.  Given all the training that this requires, it seemed like a shame not to claim a major marathon at the same time, so the week before the Ultra, I'll be doing the London Marathon.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I'll be providing live(ish) updates on twitter (@weekendislander) and instgram (@tomjenkins7698) if you want to follow my progress on race day.
