I have been lucky enough to be invited to join the Sense team for the 2013 Virgin London Marathon.

Sense is a national charity supporting deafblind children and adults. Sense provide vital support for individuals facing difficulties in various areas of their lives including communication and mobility, as a result of deafblindness and sensory impairments. For more information on the work that Sense do and how your donation will help, please visit www.sense.org.uk.

Please dig deep and donate as much as you are able to. Your donation will help Sense continue to fund the vital services needed to enable deafblind children and adults to be full and active members of society.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Your support and any donation you are able to make really means a lot to me and will certainly lessen the pain of the 26.2 miles.

Please be sure to Gift Aid your donation if you are a UK tax payer. It makes a huge difference to the amount Sense will receive from your donation.

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.
