Syston Flood Fund
As a former resident of Syston and working every day for the Council it was sad to witness the devastating effects on homes and businesses following the recent series of floods, with some residents still unable to return to their houses and others in fear each time we get a heavy downpour.
At the moment homeowners can only access a small pot of money from the Government via Charnwood Borough Council but this is nowhere near enough to compensate for the amount of damage caused since October last year.
I have therefore decided to run the (Old) York Marathon on 20th October, 23 years after I ran the New York marathon, to help raise as much money as possible for the people of Syston who find themselves through no fault of their own in need.
If you would like to make a donation please visit my JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/systonfloodfund or feel free to spread the word. Now the training starts, I will try and keep supporters updated via my page.
