On Sunday 21 October 2012, I will be running in the Great Birmingham Run raising much needed funds for Martineau Gardens - a beautiful community garden in Edgbaston.  As the Chair of Trustees for this charity, the Gardens mean a lot to me. This is a place that matters.  Within this precious green place, so much is achieved. Volunteers, many who have mental health issues or learning disabilities,  tend the gardens to create a tranquil oasis from which we can all benefit.  The Gardens organise environmental activities for children, are a haven for wildlife and aim get people back in touch with nature.

But the Gardens need donations to continue.

Your support would make such a difference. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
