Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For years, running has been a very pleasurable activity but
it does not need to be selfish. Therefore, I have looked to identify a charity that I can resonate with and I was very inspired by the following interview:

I cannot advocate enough the implication of reading in making us better people and ultimately a better society. I believe that the extent of ignorance, vulgarity, and abuse of all kind so present around us can
only be lowered by education. And in this, reading is an essential component.

Therefore, I am fundraising this year for The Reading Agency. Any donation you can spare will be properly used to inspire disadvantages children to read.

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.

If you’d rather like to support me by contributing locally, I am volunteering for Jesmond Library, where I have seen many children on Saturday mornings. The library would also very much welcome your donation (but they are a too little charity to pay the fees of justgiving.com).

Thank you very much for your support!
