At my time of life people start doing strange things (apart from supporting Hearts) I've decided to attempt my first ever marathon. The Edinburgh Marathon on 27th May is the obvious choice (being an Honest Toun lad) as it finishes in Musselburgh so I won't have far to travel to my sick bed.

As this is probably my first and last attempt I would appreciate if you could contribute, however little, to this worthwhile cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scottish Motor Neurone Disease Association 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.

E-giving is one of the quickest and safest ways of making a donation. However, I will accept hard cash if you would prefer to donate that way.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Kind regards,

Ian C
