Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails. When donations are received they will send the monies directly to my nominated charity. 

I have decided to run this year's London Marathon to raise funds in support of the Essex Sports Foundation (Registered Charity No. 1001176).  This fantastic foundation have now raised over £2million to support schools and organisations, such as Riding for the Disabled.  They work tirelessly to provide sporting facilities and opportunities for disabled children including sports equipment, coaching/tuition and the hire of sports halls.  In addition to the above they also fund special outings and adventure type holidays creating positive lasting memories for these deserving youngsters.

Paralympic athletes Noel Thatcher and Giles Long both of whom received support from the foundation, won Gold Medals at the Paralympics in Atlanta and Sydney. Noel was quoted as saying the medals won are a testament to the magnificent work the foundation does for the young and disabled.

Taking part in sport not only increases a child's self confidence, it also helps with their physical development and self esteem.  As a child moves into adulthood it can also help them to deal with any challenges they may face in later life.

If you would like to help us reach our target of £10k for this wonderful charity we would be extremely grateful, together we can ensure more deserving children can benefit from their support.   Once we hit the target, Scott Osborn Ltd will then add a further £2.5k to the monies raised. 

Together we can help to make a really positive difference to the lives of more deserving young people bringing smiles and happy memories to last a lifetime.

Thanks so much in anticipation of your support.

John
