Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I have finally taken the plunge and committed to a lifelong goal - running the biggest half marathon event in the UK - the Great North Run, and I would be so grateful if you feel able to support my efforts with an amount of sponsorship for a beloved charity.

Marmite, my amazing labrador, has accompanied me on every step of my training so far.  It's the love and companionship of dogs like him and the amazing work of the guide dogs association that make life worth living for thousands of partially sighted people the length and breadth of the UK.  So please help them out as much as you can to help them continue their fantastic efforts.

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.  Off for a run!!!! 6 weeks and counting ... ahhhhhhh! xx
