So many months ago, back when Oct 11th 2009 felt like years away, I decided to sign up for the Royal Parks half marathon. This is a decision I would most definitely be regretting if it wasn’t for the support my sponsorship money is going to give to a great charity, Access Sport.

Founded in 2004 Access Sport is a dynamic charity whose mission is to give more children, particularly in disadvantaged areas, access to a wide range of quality local sport. We empower the inspirational community volunteers who set up and run local sports clubs with cash, expert advice and networking. To learn please check out www.accesssport.co.uk

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 make my horrendous blisters worth it!
