I am running the London marathon this year to raise money for Contact, the charity providing help for families with disabled children. Life with a disabled child brings unique challenges. Contact helps families feel valued, supported, confident and informed.

Contact works in three closely linked ways: 1) Supporting families with the best possible guidance and information. 2) Bringing families together in local groups and online, to support each other by sharing experiences and advice. And 3) helping families to campaign, volunteer, fundraise and shape local services to improve life for themselves and others.

I have seen first hand the amazing work Contact do for families. They will be hugely appreciative of any donation.
