Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.

This is the "Coolest Marathon" in the world with probable temperatures of -15 to -25 and if there's a wind-chill then it's really, really cold. But hey, it's above the Arctic Circle in an ice desert with only runners, bears, foxes and musk so what can I expect!

Only 200 runners are allowed on the ice-cap and no spectators so it's very special. As I need company I will mantra all the names of my supporters through the 24 miles so you will be there with me in spirit.

Completing the Marathon is important to me and so is the opportunity to raise funds for The Eve Appeal which supports research into gynaecological cancers. There are five big Cs for women with only a 42% chance of survival which is horrific. I have been involved with this charity for several years and hope you will join me in supporting it.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So, please join me on the Polar Marathon. I will keep you updated.

On, On!
