Hi All!!

I'm running the 2010 London Marathon on 25th April. I'm running for a very worthy charity called Sense which is the leading national charity that supports and campaigns for children and adults who are deafblind. There are around a quarter of a million deafblind people in the UK and around 4,000 of these are children. Sense provide expert advice and information as well as specialist services to deafblind people, their families, carers and the professionals who work with them.

I would really appreciate it if you could spare anything towards my £700 target for my charity by sponsoring my run. There is more information at the bottom of the page to understand exactly where your donation would go should you choose to sponsor me.

Anything you can spare to make those few hours...blisters...and lots of sore muscles worth while would be a huge help and much appreciated! :o)

Many thanks

Di
