In the words of Christopher’s much loved and missed dad, he is going to “knock the hell out of his body” by running the Yorkshire marathon on October 19th. He is running to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Sunshine and Smiles.
Christopher said “Sunshine and Smiles have provided great support to my nephew George and his family” and that “During Dad’s difficult battle with cancer, Macmillan provided support and kindness that made a huge difference”.
Obviously both charities mean a lot to Christopher and his family, and the funds he raises will be shared between them. You can make a donation and help Christopher reach his marathon fundraising target here: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/yorkshire-marathon
We want to wish Christopher the best of luck for the marathon and thank you so much for helping us to ensure we are able to keep running our activities and groups for children and young people with Down Syndrome in Leeds.
