***Thank you SO much to everyone that attended my fundraising events or donated,  you have helped me to surpass my fundraising target which in turn will help the NSPCC with their "Child's Voice Appeal" campaign. I hope to see some of you on the big day for some much needed post marathon celebrations! Thank you again! Nins :-)***

Thank you  for visiting my fundraising page.

After spending the last few years doing climbing/trekking challenges that while tough at times I loved, I decided to truly challenge myself and do something I hate - running!!

What better/crazier way to do this than attempt the Flora London Marathon 2009!! My first ever marathon and running experience. I will not be doing it to achieve some fast time but will be running as part of the ~65 strong Accenture Marathon team to raise much needed funds for the NSPCC.

It's estimated that 1 in 10 children in the UK will suffer from some form of abuse during their childhood. This is a shocking statistic and further highlights how important it is for the NSPCC to answer every cry for help they receive.

Currently, 1 in 3 children calling ChildLine can’t get through, 60 per cent of children who need in-depth counselling will not be able to speak to a counsellor and the NSPCC Helpline for adults who are concerned about the welfare of a child, can only answer 70 per cent of calls it receives.

All money donated will be going to the NSPCCs' "Child Voice Appeal" to help raise over £50 million for the Helplines development programme. This will help to answer every call for help and provide every child in the UK with the support and advice they need 24 hours of every day.

Please sponsor me if this is a cause you would like to support. Every little helps!!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you!!

Nins :-)
