Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After many months of pounding the pavements in preparation, I will be running the Edinburgh Marathon (26.2 miles) on Sunday 22 May 2011. It has been a hard slog and everyone is sick of hearing me go on about my knackered ankles, palpitations and losing the circulation in my fingers (lol!) but it will be worth it if I can raise funds for MIND, a very worthwhile charity which can sometimes be overlooked.

Nationwide, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives. Each year more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 take their own lives. Please support me to raise funds for MIND.

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. Thank you soooooo much!!!!! :  )
