Update: 27th April
It's done - I finished in 5 hours 41:04. Here's my writeup of what it felt like: http://going-about.blogspot.com/
============
26 miles of Jay, or should that be joy? It's a long way whichever you choose.
I'm running the London Marathon in April 2009 - help me raise money for the NSPCC: they do great work, including sponsoring Childline - a 24 hour free phoneline where children know they will be listened to.
My employer, Sun Microsystems, will double whatever I raise here, so your £20 donation will mean over £40 going to the charity (allowing for gift aid, if you're a UK taxpayer).
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NSPCC gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure NSPCC gets 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
