Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing this mostly for my dad, who once was a top golfer and played amateur golf for England, and is now suffering from Arthritis in the bones in his feet. He can barely walk, has to live on painkillers and wear silly shoes to support his feet. He has seen every specialist in the UK, but other than an operation to fuse the foot bones (not a great op for a guy who is nearly 80), theres not a lot that can be done. Its really crap, and pretty tough on my mum too.

So this this is my way of helping - and through sport is the only way I really know how. Whilst I have my own personal goal to run the London Marathon, this is the only charity I have contacted, as I believe in it.

I know you all get many requests for donations these days, but I don't do it very often and this is a cause very very close to my heart.

I hope you can be generous and support this charity for me and my hobbling, cranky but very special father .

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.
