For reasons unbeknown to myself, I have chosen to slog, sweat, freeze, ache, labour, blister and exercise all at the same time, running 26 miles as I do to complete the Flora London Marathon on April 13th 2008.  In aid of my efforts, I have chosen to sponsor Nighingale House, a residential and nursing home caring for elderly people based in Clapham (for more info, go to http://www.nightingalehouse.org.uk).  Money raised will in particular be devoted to improving activities in the home's dementia unit where donations are needed most.  As the charity is a small one, every penny really makes a difference so I would appeal to you to donate generously.

Donating through Justgiving.com is simple, fast, safe and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Nightingale will receive the sponsorship 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 guys, dig deep and show your support for this worthwhile cause.  For those whom I did not receive a Christmas present from this year (that's just about all of you...), now's the time to donate!!

Many thanks,

Sam
