I have decided to put myself through the hell of running the 2009 Flora London Marathon to raise a big wedge of cash for Barnardo's children's charity. They do important work across the UK with the most vulnerable kids from all backgrounds and I'm looking to raise a whopping a £2000 to support them.

Only problem being ....

...I drink too much

...I smoke too much

...and I haven't exercised for 10 years!

So it should be a piece of cake then.

All donations are gratefully received and if you fancy a laugh, come down on the day to cheer me on!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
