Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be at the start line of the Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 24 April - my birthday, no less - to raise money for Barnardo's, the charity I'm proud to work for.

Barnardo's supports 240,000 children, young people and their families every year. We've been around since 1866 and are marking our 150th anniversary in 2016. What better way to fly the flag for our charity than by taking on this mammoth 26.2 mile challenge. I'm very excited, nervous and just hoping I don't get injured!

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please give what you can to make sure that Barnardo's can be there for vulnerable children and young people - 150 years and Always.
