Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: YMCA will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Approximately half of the money I raise will be used by Leicester YMCA to fund a campaign to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS amongst young people in Leicester and surrounding areas.

Many of you know that I ran the London Marathon in 2004, and this time I am aiming for an improved time. I would like to encourage you to consider including an "incentive" bonus that would become payable if my official finish time is at least 10% faster than in 2004, so equal to or lower than 4 hours and 7 minutes. This is proving complicated on this site so please email me to discuss how we can accomplish this at neilg@housing.org.uk

The picture opposite is of me (the one on the left) completing the marathon in 2004, and includes my time at 4 hours 35 minutes and 13 seconds.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
