Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I’m running the Great North Run to
raise money for 2 Charities: Haswell and District Mencap and Crohns and Colitis
UK.
This has been on my bucket list for a
long time and 2016 is the year to do something about it, so I’m running the GNR.
I've been training for months which I
am strangely enjoying and I’m not doing too bad, so I thought whilst I am doing
something for myself why not do something for others also. The above 2 charities are close to
mine and my families hearts.
For years I have watched my wife
Michaela suffer with the debilitating disease Ulcerative
Colitis of which there is
currently no cure and I’m hoping that by raising money for this charity a
'magic pill' will be discovered to help the suffers of this terrible life
changing disease.
Mencap is another charity close to our
hearts. They give people with learning disabilities in my local community
a voice. They provide a safe place of learning and support through the
Lisa Dixon Centre, enabling the trainees to develop vital life skills and be
part of the community.
I know times are hard but even the
smallest of donations is very much appreciated and will make a difference to
the two very worthwhile charities.
Please visit my team page for the choice of charities you would like to donate to.
Thanks and wish me luck on the 11th
September.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving
is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving -
they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you
donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift
Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK
taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with
JustGiving.
