Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I had a moment of madness and signed up to run the London Marathon in April 2008...and I've done it!  I had three goals: to get round the course, to do it without stopping, and to do it in under 5 hours, and I managed to achieve all of them, with a time of 4 hours and 53 minutes! 

Even though the race is over, it isn't too late to sponsor me, and give your support to an abused, vulnerable or neglected child . Barnardo's is a fantastic charity that work with with children across the country to help them to be the best that they can be in difficult circumstances. 

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's 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.

So please sponsor me now!  If you want to keep up with how I'm doing with my training have a look on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14983360542
Many thanks for your support.
