Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page! I’m running the Virgin London Marathon 2016 for Mencap on the 24th of April 2016. It would be great if you could donate and share my Page so I can raise as much as possible to help them help people with a learning disability to live their lives as they choose.. Thank you.

This is also a personal challenge for myself - I never thought I would be able to run 2 miles let alone 26.2! After breaking my ankle twice when I was growing up I struggled to get back into exercise but I have made it this far (just completed my first half marathon) and cannot wait for the challenge of a full marathon.

The charity I am raising money for is Mencap. It's a fantastic charity and helps support every person with a learning disability – no matter how severe so that they can make choices about how they want to live. We have worked closely with Mencap over the past two years within our company and have helped to raise awareness of the great work they do.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
