Latest results for the Winter Challenge after the Giants Tooth race.

Sterling effort for Air Ambulance

On 23rd May 2010, I will be standing on the start line at the Edinburgh Marathon. Ahead of me will be 26 miles of hard Scottish tarmac and, a few hours later, I will (fingers crossed) have the euphoria of having finished and raised a substantial amount of money for the following worthwhile cause.
Leeds Little Livers is Theo’s team for the British Transplant Games. The Games are a fantastic event where adults and children who have all been through a life-saving organ transplant come together to enjoy the joys and delight of competitive sport. It is a real affirmation of the fantastic transformation of their lives from spending far too much of their earlier lives in hospital to being able to participate in their chosen events with renewed vitality. However, the Games do not pay for themselves and we need to raise money to make sure that as many of the children in Theo’s team can get to the 2010 Games in Bath.
Please consider making a donation. To see what it means to Theo to take part in these Games, have a look at the photo on our sponsorship page at http://www.justgiving.com/Team-Theo. You can also donate online at the same site.
Many thanks
