Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On March 17th I and a number of colleagues from Microsoft will be running the Reading Half Marathon and I will be trying to raise as much as possible for the Stillbirth and Neo-Natal Death Society (SANDS).

My team at work has specifically chosen SANDS as the beneficiary of all our charity work this year. This is on the back of a nomination by a colleague who has directly benefited from and talked openly about the remarkable councelling and support they provide to couples in a situation of unimaginable personal tragedy.

In addiition to Gift Aid, the great news is that Microsoft will match all funds that I am able to raise, so every pound you donate will effectively be turned into £2.58.

I know that this is a time of year where there are many great charitable events going on and I am sure this won't be the only request you will have received in recent times. If you are able to support me I give you my sincerest thanks.
