Hi!

Welcome to my JustGiving page - thanks for taking the time to get this far :-)

So...in the spirit of 'getting out the comfy chair' I am running the London Half Marathon in a few weeks time. I'm not a runner. This is going to hurt. And now I'm fully committed. Damn it.

However...

I am running (most of the time hopefully) >21km to raise money for the genuinely incredible Poundland Foundation, and I couldn't be prouder. In short, the foundation regularly donates significant grants to Tommy's, Make a Wish and Whizz Kidz, as well as Family Action and Trussel, plus a whole host of local charities - often kitting out junior football teams for example.

Having heard and seen first hand some of the genuinely incredible work that these charities do, it was a no brainer to look to help/make a small contribution myself. I'm also privileged and fortunate to be a proud Daddy to two beautiful girls, which motivates me further to help families that are less fortunate.

In summary, anything I raise will be going towards supporting families through the pain of miscarriages, granting wishes to terminally poorly children, or supporting children that use wheelchairs to try brilliant new activities. Ultimately my words could never do justice to the brilliant work the charities do so I'd really encourage you to check out our foundation website to learn more at: https://poundlandfoundation.org.uk/our-grants/

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.

Sincerely, thank you for your support - hopefully I get round the course and together we can contribute to the awesome Foundation in 2025.

Time to get out of that comfy chair!

Tom
