Hello!

I'm going to be running the Loch Ness Marathon in a matter of weeks and I need your help to make this in any way a worthwhile or sensible experience.

I wanted to split my fundraising efforts between two charities (flood victims in Pakistan and MIND), so you'll notice I have pages set up for both. Any donations are genuinely gratefully received, thank you...(Just Giving speel follows)

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
