Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I always swore I'd never do a Marathon although I secretly wanted too. It's just too hard I thought. But hey I'm 43 and developing aches and pains everywhere and I read somewhere Just Do It - so I thought I would while I still can. The run is on the 23rd May and now I realise why I swore I'd never do one - 26.2 miles is a bloody long way and it hurts like mad!!

Thankfully I've never had to put one of my kids into The Children's Hospital for Wales but I'm glad it's there. These hospitals do amazing work for those little people who probably deserve to be in hospital the least. We've probably all seen the great work that Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital does but Wales has it's own and the Noah's Ark Appeal is it's official charity. Please help me raise money for them. I'll do all the hard work. You just give what you can - even if it's just a pound. If all my friends gave just one pound that would easily raise a tenner. So tell your friends and for them to tell their friends. A quid is all I'd like - any more would be a bonus and would also make it look like I have more mates.

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.
