My Fundraising Charities
I have not raised any money for charity for any of the events I have done so far so I am now on the fundraising bandwagon. I have chosen 3 charities to raise money for so you have a selection of where to put your money. I now have a target of 5,000km for the 1,000 days so to keep things simple, I want to raise £5,000 between the three charities so please dig deep and get me off to a good start!
Meningitis Research Foundation
I chose Meningitis research as this is a deadly disease, which in 2008 very nearly took the life of my younger sister Andrea – she was literally minutes away from dying and they managed to pull her back. Thankfully she is now fit and healthy and fully recovered.
British Heart Foundation
The British Heart Foundation don’t need any introduction and as a regular blood donor, I wanted to help heart disease research.
