About my charity : Get Connected Get Connected
Get Connected is a free telephone, email and webchat helpline service finding young people the best help whatever the problem. Available anywhere in the UK, 1pm - 11pm every day, we can provide free connections to local or national services, and text information to caller's mobile phones. Get Connected's vision is that every young person in the UK can find the help they need to support their emotional and physical wellbeing. There are 11 million young people in the UK. In Get Connected's survey of 2006, 4 out of 5 of young people didn't know where to turn with their problems. Get Connected is the free helpline for these young people, who know they need help but don't know where to find it. With Helpline Workers trained to support each young person in their unique situation and help them choose the best service from over 13,000 in the UK, Get Connected is the vital gateway between a distressing confusing problem the young person can't solve on their own and the service that can help them solve it. Crucially, the connection we make for each young person to their chosen source of help is free as well.

My personal message:

Hello and Welcome!

I am running the 2008 Flora London Marathon. Phew! It is going to be a long 26.2 miles, but I am hoping that with your support I can make it, and raise some money for Get Connected in the process.

For those of you that know me, you might know that I volunteer with Get Connected, giving four hours a week of my time to work on the helpline and talk to young people about the problems that they face. At Get Connected we talk to young people about any problem and find them help, connecting them through to other organisations for free. I've found that these young people find themselves in tough situations and I take calls on a whole range of issues, but Get Connected is there to offer support and help and I'm proud to be a part of that.

So I'm 'going that extra mile' by running the marathon and helping Get Connected to raise vital funds. Please join me and give if you can. Why not do something 'extra' yourself as well as donating. You could give up that daily coffee for a week and donate the money saved, run a 5km with 8 friends (meaning you have collectively run 27 miles = a whole team marathon) and donate money raised from that, or just stay in one night and donate your beer money! Whatever 'extra' you do, every little thing helps!

Also, check out my blog: www.goingthatextramile.blogspot.com for all the latest updates on how well I'm doing!

Thanks for your support!

Laura :)
