Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As everyone knows, I have just recovered from the London Marathon -  now it is time to take on the next challenge of The Great North Run.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me for the marathon, I rasied lots of money for a very deserving charity. If you can, please help me do the same for another special local charity - The Children's Foundation.

The Children's Foundation funds research to help cure sick children and prevent them from becoming ill. This charity also investigates lifestyle issues which, hopefully, will lead to better long term outcomes for children in the region. The main aim of The Children's Foundation is the make North East children, and ultimately children in the UK, healthy, happy and safe.

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.
