As you have probably heard I have embarked on the running madness and signed myself up for the Bristol 1/2 marathon, that is 13 Miles or 21 km whichever way you look at it. As I have not yet run further than 10 km this is sure to be a challenge so I need all the support I can get from you.

And your support will be in aid of a great cause - Brain Trust. You can always look at their website for more details www.braintrust.org.uk. However in case you do not know more than 6,000 people in the UK contract brain tumours every year and the current spend on brain cancer research is only 1.5% - this we can change!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
