Alun Cairns MP's London Marathon for Barnardo's
Fundraising for Barnardo's
Story
This year, I will be running my 11th London Marathon.
Over the years, one of my proudest achievements is that I have managed to raise over £80,000 for several fantastic local charities. This year I am running for Barnardo's.
Barnardo's support and protect vulnerable children and young people facing a wide range of issues, from drug misuse to disability, from sexual abuse to domestic violence.
It is a privilege to work and support Barnardo's. Young people face so many pressures locally and Barnardo's are always on hand to help in the most discrete way. This could be protecting a child from abuse or helping children who are carers.
I want to raise as much money as possible for this great charity. The Barnardo's team in the Vale of Glamorgan deserve a special mention. They do a lot of life-changing work across the area, and I pay tribute to the Cowbridge Helper Group for their continued activity in the community.
I appreciate that many calls are made in favour of worthwhile causes, and I hope you are able to extend your generosity to help this charity.
Thank you for your support!
