Dear all,

Some of you may be aware that I am running the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 23rd May 2010.  It seems fitting that if I do run for a charity my personal preference at this time is to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Cancer Research UK is the world's leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. The work of Cancer Research UK has helped hundreds of thousands of people to beat the disease. I would be delighted if through your support and my run we can add to their fundraising needs.

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.
