Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a moment of madness I agreed to take part in the Edinburgh Marathon Team Relay Challenge. For those of you who know me well I have never even as much as ran 5k so this is a pretty big challenge for me. At school I was more the 100metre sprinter rather than cross country! 

I have been training hard in all kinds of weather, yip we really do get the four seasons in one day here in Glasgow. It was a real struggle to build up my fitness levels, however, with the help of some great pals who have coached and went out running with me, I am increasing my running distance every week. 

The charity I am running for is Help The Hospices, they help hundreds of hospices across the UK and are AXA Commercial's chosen charity. One of our colleagues Jonathon Finn and his family received wonderful care from our local hospice. Help The Hospices is the charity for hospice care and I champion and support hospice care as it provides support to seriously ill people and their families to improve the quality of their lives at a really difficult time.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money 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 dig deep and donate, it will really help me with my training and getting round the course.
