Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to make the New York City Marathon 2009 my first (and possibly last!) marathon.  I love New York and hope the sights, people and buzz from this huge event, will help me get round!    My training is going well (I think!) thanks to Bert and all the Portobello runners, and I just pray that everything goes smoothly on the run up to the big day.  My aim?  to get round without walking!  I do have a target time in mind but I'll keep that secret ;-)   Just counting the days....

I have chosen to donate money to the Newlife Foundation who provide action to help disabled and terminally ill children in the UK. This includes equipment to help individual children, nurse led support services, pioneering medical research, awareness and campaigning. Newlife receive no government funding so every little bit helps... 

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.

Thankyou for supporting me, the money raised is going to a fantastic cause..
