DIGGING DEEP FOR CHARITY
28th June 2010
 29-year-old
Daniel Brinkies from Shinfield is doing bucket loads of training in
his bid to achieve a life's time ambition to run in next year's Virgin
London Marathon for Feed The Children (UK). Danny, the owner of locally
based Solid Construction Groundworks, is training hard to build a
firm foundation for the marathon.
If you are out and about around the Reading area over the coming months
you may well see Danny pounding the streets. Last week his mother-in-law
in Hook was surprised when he turned up at her house having run from
Shinfield. Only just having started to train, his work keeping him
in good condition, Danny already has a base of 13 mile runs under
his belt.
Says Feed The Children (UK)'s CEO Brian Main, "We were lucky enough
to secure two places in the 2011 marathon for people who wanted to
run for us and we have several other running challenges for others
to take part in and raise money for the charity. Ring us on 01189
320095 if you are interested in the other runs."
"We are already planning our fundraising strategy," says Daniel, "and
my Just Giving Page has already been set up so I do hope people will
support me on this run. It's my aim to raise as much money as I can
for Feed The Children whilst at the same time achieving a good result
in my first ever marathon. Planning and training are key to my success."
From new builds to extensions, driveways and commercial premises Solid
Construction Groundworks' success is reflected in Danny's approach.
The majority of the company's work has come from repeat business and
word of mouth, along with its special relationship with a major local
construction company.
Feed The Children (UK) is first and foremost a children's charity
but it is also a humanitarian and international relief organisation.
The charity works both in the UK and around the world in areas of
desperate need, developing sustainable communities, providing food,
clothing and meeting other life supporting requirements. Administration
costs are very low compared with many other charities with 90% of
the charity's donations going towards its work. For more details of
