Lucy's marathon challenge
Thank you for visiting my page.
For me this is a huge challenge and one that fills me with both excitement and dread, particularly as someone just told me I might lose my toenails during the process. There is however, something inspiring about a random sea of people running through the city seemingly for no real purpose, but underneath each with their own unique reason for keeping going for more than twenty-six miles.
I'm running for the National Children's Bureau (NCB), a charity I work for and value being a part of. It's great to work with so many passionate and committed people who aim to support all children to have a happy and safe childhood - something that all children should have. NCB works to make this possible. I really appreciate your contribution towards the work of NCB and your support in my challenge.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to NCB. 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.
Thanks very much,
Lucy
