With my participation in the London Marathon, I will be supporting The Prince's Trust (www.princes-trust.org.uk).

Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

The Prince's Trust addresses this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. It helps develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.

I hope you also feel that this is a very important cause that deserves our attention and support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make an impact. Thank you for your support.
