Update -t was tough but I made it thanks to all your support!  It's not too late to sponsor me if you haven't already.

Of all the crazy things I've ever done... this is possibly the craziest! I'll be training through the long, cold, miserable winter for the 2008 Flora London Marathon.  Why am I doing this?  Because, through the long, cold etc... there will be thousands of rough sleepers and poorly housed people, unable to keep warm, cook a hot meal or clean and dry their clothes. Bad housing, bad health, isolation and unemployment act together in a vicious cycle. 

Thankfully, Shelter work hard to ensure that the cycle is broken, and that the homeless and vulnerably housed can get their lives back together. Please help me to help them. While I'll be pounding the streets in the freezing February mornings, knowing your donations will help someone stay warm indoors will keep me going.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shelter 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.
