John Parker's fundraising page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page. Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
I am hoping to raise £1000 for 1000 miles (in fact, it's hopefully 900 and something miles, but 900 and something pounds for 900 and something miles doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?!). I lost one of my sisters to breast cancer 10 years ago and the charities have been chosen by her family.
I'd be delighted to receive encouragement during the walk, so feel free to ask me for my mobile number. Thanks again for your support - much appreciated.
