Dear prospective Donor,

I have been toying with the idea of running a full marathon for some time. I have been running for about 8 years now, done several 10km races and at least 4 semi-marathons.

Don't get me wrong - I don't run fast but I just love being out there, fresh air, pretty countryside - the buzz, the mental benefits of it are fantastic - just ask my husband, in his words "I wil do anything to ensure Siobhan gets her running fix - otherwise she becomes unbearable!" 

Anyway, one conversation led to another and I ended up commiting myself to run the Berlin Marathon, which takes place on 25 September 2016! ! !  And as this will probably be a once in a lifetime challenge (unless I get a real taste for 42.5 km runs;-), I thought -why not run for a worthy cause at the same time!  Upon checking out the charities being supported at the Berlin Marathon, I decided to choose Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung (Children with Cancer Foundation). I choose this one as I really wanted to run for a children's charity and cancer...well.. who doesn't know somebody who's been affected by it? You can check out more about this charity on their own website or feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

I really think that Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung are doing a great job and I have decided to raise funds to help them perform their work.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me in my fundraising efforts by making a donation to Deutsche Kinderkrebsstiftung or telling others about this.

There are no small donations - everything helps ! 
You can make your donations online which will be processed through Alvarum.
It is very easy and 100% secure.

So, in a nutshell, if you would like to support a worthy cause and at the same time enjoy the idea of making me suffer a bit, particularly after the 30th kilometer mark on 25 September 2016 in Berlin, please support me and make a donation!

Thank you very much for your help! Un grand merci pour votre soutien! Vill mols merci ! Vielen Dank !
