Chuffed :)

I just want to say ONE long thank you as i have now reached my target to raise £1250 for 'The Docklands Settlements' who i ran the Virgin London Marathon 2013 for!

Thank you so much firstly for putting up with my bombardment of messages to raise awareness, to get donations and to get people down to events, i know it can get tiresome. 

Secondly Thank you so much to DJs Trolley, Navdeepverma, Aunty Asbo, Hedgehog, Tom Dagone, Paul Pure, Adenassi, Editor & MacLoud. Plus Bands F.S.I., Last Seen Wearing, Yes Men, Oiz ii Men, James Marples, Clean Freaks, Morton Valence, Sonic Mass, Kerouac, CTCVN & Blind Havoc for all the energy you put into the events, in playing amazing sets and also playing for FREE to help raise more money!

Thirdly i want to thank Amy for putting up with me during my training and my dryathlon since Jan 1st, I've not been easy to live with plus my Mum for looking after Juno so i could train and promote.

Thank you to Ruby & Leon for running round, getting people to put money in the buckets :)

Thank you to everyone (and you know who you are the list is too long) who has supported me during the last 9 months of training, everyone who came to at least 1 event, donated at an event or online, showed your support to the acts who supported the events & everyone who made raising this amount of money possible.

Total Raised so far is £2112.55!!!

I chose to run the 2013 London Marathon for The Docklands Settlements firstly because they do a lot of work in the community which we live in and am proud to bring up our beautiful daughter. Secondly, whilst in a time of continuos cut backs, Charities such as The Docklands Settlements are still providing help for people who need help and thirdly, my Mum's family come from The Isle Of Dogs.

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 now.
