Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

I have chosen to run the Virgin London Marathon for the Hartlepool Hospice because of the excellent respite care they provide for cancer sufferers and their families in Hartlepool. I have always wanted to run the London Marathon and I am especially pleased to be helping a charity within my home town.

I will be training 7 days a week from Jan 1-April 21 in order to get myself in shape to complete the 26.2 miles without collapsing! This will involve early morning sprints, late night runs, sticking to a diet and stopping (nearly!) alcohol intake. As you can appreciate this is a massive commitment.

I think everyone out there has been close to someone who has had cancer, unfortunately. But I am sure everyone will agree that the care hospices provide to sufferers and their families is absolutely fantastic.

I need to raise a minimum of £2000. So, family, colleagues, current friends and new friends (possibly).....please dig deep and help me reach my total and further support this excellent cause.

Thanks for visiting my page and/or donating.
