Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those that know me will know that i'm certainly not a runner, i'm unfit, over-weight and need to shed the odd kilo or ten. I've never run further than a 2km run whilst at school, and while i've flirted with the idea of getting fit in the past, i've never followed through on it. I can't remember the last time I did anything for charity, and this seems to be the perfect opportunity.

I've suffered with Crohns disease for over 20 years, and this together with my creaking legs have given me plenty of excuses for avoiding these runs in the past. No more. You may get many charity donation requests over the year, but you've never had one from me. I've donated to anyone who's asked in the past, and now I want the return favour! I'm aiming to get just £500, but if I could double that then all the better...

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.
