Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Most of you know I like a challenge and this is a biggy. I have to raise £2500.00 for Acorns Childrens Hospice. I have a gold bond guaranteed place for the 2013 London Marathon.

Why Me, why Acorns - Well what a lot of you don't know is that in 1989 I was lucky enough to have a second child (well my wife was) unfortunately she only lived for 3 weeks. Heather and her family would have benefitted greatly from the services of a Hospice. There were NO hospices for Children specifically. Although everyone concerned was helpful we were in the way in Hospital and unsupported at home - not a nice situation to be in.

The work of the Acorns hospices is essential and  this sort of fundraising is essential.

PLEASE give generously. (Using Gift Aid if you can)
