Daniel Ralph raises £3,576 and counting…
Congratulations to Daniel Ralph for his heroic effort in completing the Virgin Money London Marathon and raising a spectacular £3,576 for JSF.
This was an incredible challenge for Daniel. Not only was it his first ever marathon but also, after his knee gave out after 2 miles, he refused to give up and somehow managed to drag himself along the next 24 miles to reach the finishing line.
But he did it, and for that he really deserves that medal and even more support – there is still time to sponsor Daniel.
Also a very special thanks to Phillip Anthony and staff of Co-Operative Systems who made a significant donation to sponsor Daniel and help him meet his target.
Thank you Daniel and thank you to everyone who sponsored him.

Daniel is running the London Marathon to help raise funds for George
Daniel Ralph’s training is coming along well, but he has a long way to go!!
This is Daniel’s first ever marathon and it is a tough challenge. He has agreed to raise a minimum of £3,000 for the Janki Saye Foundation and he really needs your support and encouragement to achieve his target.
Please sponsor Daniel and help him to raise the money needed to help George:
George is 11 years old. He has cerebral palsy, severe learning difficulties and epilepsy. He is wheelchair bound, unable to talk and relies on his mother for his basic everyday needs.
At his school, 3 days a week., George has access to an EyeGaze system with skills development software. With this system, he uses his eyes to control the activities. Staff have found that he really enjoys these sessions.
George’s family are very keen to for him to be able to practice these activities at home so that he can advance his learning and also use the EyeGaze system to communicate with them.
This technology costs £3,300.
Please sponsor Daniel and help him to raise the money needed to help George.
