Support his legs so he can run the marathon in aid of The Children's Trust

Lola & Simon's Nico has a special request on behalf of The Children's Trust and in support of his legs...

"This year I decided to run my first marathon, which will be in London on 25 April. Maybe you've seen me running round the river or the neighbourhood in my Argentinean football shirt?" says Nico.

"As you probably know, unless you are a pro athlete, to secure a place you need to run for a charity. From the different charities, I chose one that is involved with children because I believe that every kid in this planet should have the same opportunities.

"What they do with their lives after is their own responsibility. But what responsibility can a child have when they have not had their basic needs met, especially if he or she is disabled?

"The charity I will be supporting is The Children's Trust which provides care, education and therapy for children with multiple disabilities and their services including:
• Short, medium and long term residential care and therapy
• Residential rehabilitation for children with an acquired brain injury
• Community-based rehabilitation for children returning to home/school after a brain injury
• Special education for pupils with profound and multiple learning disabilities at St Margaret's School
• Short breaks (either at our site in Tadworth or in the family home)
• Transitional care for children who are dependent on a ventilator or complex tracheostomy
• Hospice/ palliative care
Any donation (even £1) would be very much appreciated - both by me (as I hope to raise over £1,600) and by all the children that The Children's Trust helps!

"The process is very easy and friendly (I did it my self). It will only take a couple of minutes of your time and it is all fast and totally secure. JustGiving will send your donation 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 support me by supporting The Children's Trust and donate now clicking in the following link: http://www.justgiving.com/Nico-Curia"
