I am taking part in this year's Great Birmingham Run (half marathon) to raise funds for Thrive Together Birmingham. Thrive do an amazing job of helping people on the margins and tackling poverty by working with individuals and churches in our region. Your support is hugely appreciated and will make a real difference to people's lives.

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.
