Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know, in the last 3 years I have twice run 10k fundraisers for Cancer Research UK.  Over the summer of 2009, my best friend Phil and I agreed to run a Marathon in 2010, and I have started a training programme to build towards running either the Chicago Marathon in October 2010 or the New York Marathon in November 2010.

Given that we can't start the application process until after the 2009 Marathons have been run, and that Justgiving won't let me start a page for the races until then either, I decided to start this page early, with a focus on sponsorship for the training, before really getting into the fundraising once we know where we're running.

BLESMA is a charity that I want to start giving to and, who knows, may even be the focus of my fundraising for the Marathon itself; Phil and I will have to have a discussion about charities before we can finally decide. 

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.

You can keep track of my progress and keep me honest on facebook, Twitter, Nike+ and on my Blog.
