Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After last year's doomed effort, my dodgy knees seem to be holding up OK this year.  I have finally got round to buying some new trainers and kit and as a result have run out of excuses not to run this year's marathon!

Seeing as I'm going to be putting in all that effort training, I thought it would make sense to do my bit for charity so I've set up this page to raise some cash for what I'm sure you'll agree is a worthy cause.  I don't have any target to reach so don't feel obliged, but all donations will be gratefully received and, when the going gets tough, will help convince me that there is actually some point to all of this!

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.

Best wishes,

Mat
