Story

Helllooooo! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. So why am I doing the London Marathon? Well, I've been running for 4 years now. I'm never going to break any records for speed but having risen to the challenge previously of half marathons, I thought it was time for the big one! The rubbish weather has made getting out and training quite tough; knowing I have support will make it a little easier to get out of bed. As a UK doctor I feel very lucky to work in a country, and an environment, that is generally safe and secure. Not everyone around the world has this luxury so I'd ask you to dig deep to help me to help those afflicted by war and natural disaster. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: International Medical Corps (UK) gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor me now! Thanks-and maybe I'll see you on April 26th. Sar xxx PS I've even given up the pop. How committed is that?
