In April 2011, I will be running the Virgin London Marathon: 26.2 miles - I think I’m beginning to realise how far this actually is.  It will require intense training and long term dedication on my part, the effort I need to commit to this actually scares me … I know however whenever I think it’s too hard and think about giving up I won’t because I am supporting an incredible charity; Age UK. 

Growing old also scares me (lots) and there is little I can do to stop this natural process and it will happen to us all!  Age UK (www.ageuk.org.uk) has a vision of a world in which older people flourish. They aim to improve later life for everyone through their information and advice, campaigns, products, training and research.  I don’t believe the aging population get enough coverage or support.  The work that Age UK does in supporting the changing needs of elderly people I think is under estimated.

Please dig deep to support me in what will be an incredible personal achievement and the work of Age UK.

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.

If you prefer to donate the old fashioned way please give me a call or drop me note.

Thanks so much for your generous donations and your continued support.
