Story

It's the day after the 25th London Marathon and I'm happy to say that I did it with no walking, a lot of water, 5 Ibuprofin, 2 packs of sport gels and enough Lucozade sport to warrant a ritalin prescription.
It took well over 5 hours and I need new knees, hips and treatment for sunburn!
My friends all completed it in very good times, and I was just behind Paula.. (24.5 miles behind to be more exact).

I ran with my friends for Great Ormond Street which needs no introduction I'm sure. We are raising money for the accomodation used in transitionary periods between hospitalisation and recovery. I hope you will be very generous - the hospital have helped many friends through difficult times, and I'm very proud to be allowed to run for them.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Thankyou for your sponsorship so far..
I am still raising money, so if you were hedging your bets, or being forgetful - now's a great time to contribute! So please sponsor me now and I'll send you a free CD too if you email me your address (it'll make a nice beermat anyway). THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
