Support Jenny on her 12 month fundraising challenge

Jenny Nurmi (nee Jones) (1982-91) is currently half way through a 12-month fundraiser/challenge and needs your support.

Fundraising

Jenny's has set herself the challenge to run 80km every month for a different charity which were chosen by the first 10 people that donated to her January Challenge. Jenny chose the February charity in memory of a friend.
  
The choice of charities is very diverse and you can find the the link for Jenny's ‘Virgin Money Giving’ page HERE where you can look through all the charities listed - just scroll down and choose 'load more' if you can't see them all.

Jenny is currently half way through the challenge and, unfortunately, she has had to swap running for cycling in July as her knees were hurting so much and she need to save them for hockey! With this in mind Jenny has increased the distance to 160km for July for cycling, returning to running in August AND she will add July's 80km to the remaining 5 months so she can say she has run them!

If you feel you are able to make a donation, please do, even it is only a small amount every little bit will help and it is greatly appreciated,  and if you know of anyone who would like to donate please send the link on to them. 

The charities are listed below. The first 6 are now closed but Jenny will re-open them all again at the end of the challenge for one month (in Jan 2022).
