Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I haven't got round to doing much in the way of training -though I bought a pair of trainers (or running shoes as they're now called) this week and I'm sure I can manage 13 miles. This is the "Hampton Court Half" after all and I reckon if Henners the Eighth (whose BMI was surely even higher than mine) could do it, I certainly can!

I work on a daily basis with people who have suffered catastrophic spinal injuries and they are the people who have inspired me to raise funds for Spinal Research. This fabulous charity funds research which can ultimately help these sufferers enjoy some improvement in any or all of breathing, hand movement, bladder & bowel control and much more besides. Much of their research can also benefit sufferers of other conditions such as MS, Parkinson's Disease, stroke and Motor Neurone Disease.

There is a desperate situation unfolding in central Europe and quite rightly, the Great British public is donating generously towards this cause right now. However, if your coffers aren't completely bare, then even the most modest donation to this wonderful charity will be very gratefully received. 

Many thanks in advance.
