Story

Hi Guys,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am attempting to run the London Marathon in under 4 hours for the Saracens Sport Foundation. 

The Saracens Foundation's mission is to inspire communities through the power of sport and social opportunities. Using this as a catalyst for positive change, enabling the fulfilment of potential in every individual.

Sport, physical activity and social inclusion are used to inspire The Saracens Foundation's 4 key pillars: Participation, Health and Wellbeing, Education & Employability and Inclusion.

A key project that has inspired me to take on this challenge is the 'Get Onside' programme. This programme uses the values of rugby to support Young Offenders in prison to create positive life opportunities. The programme has led to a 10% re-offending rate as opposed to the national average of 69%.

This, in conjunction with all their other great work, has helped turn people's lives around, provided opportunities and inspired people to reach their full potential.

The Saracens Foundation's great work is carried out through grants and fundraising, therefore any amount of money you can donate to support me and the foundation would be hugely appreciated.

Wish me luck!
