Story

Hi All,
I am doing the marathon one last time, running again for the Vision Charity. This time I am going to try and avoid the blisters, knock 45 minutes off my previous time - and run the marathon dressed as one of the most iconic footballers of all time Carlos Valderrama.

Last year I manage to trawl around the London Marathon in 5 hours 15 mins. My feet were ripped to pieces by serious blisters at mile 19, and some nasty underarm chaffing almost made me stop. But I couldn't let London beat me, and I couldn't let the Vision Charity down.

Not only did I manage to complete the marathon, but I also raised over £1,500 for Vision - which was only possible due to the amount of people who kindly sponsored me.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online, and help raise as much money as possible for the Vision Charity.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Vision Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. David Howlett
