Story

<p><strong>I absolutely hate running</strong> but have been saying for over a decade that I would do a Marathon before I am 40- so this April's Brighton Marathon is my last chance.</p> <p>I started my training in Jan 2011 and can still only just run about 5 miles so rest assured I will be suffering extremely hard and earning every penny&nbsp;of all of your donations. All your money goes to Maternity Worldwide who work to make childbirth safer in developing countries. Please remember to tick the box to aid Giftaid to your donation as this greatly increases your donation's value at no cost to you.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
