<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>I am running the London Marathon as a challenge for myself, I've always fancied doing it - and now thanks to a lucky ballot entry, I will get the chance. I have decided to run for charity, and Age Cymru is a fantastic charity close to my heart. Age Cymru is the leading charity for all older people in Wales. They campaign, research and fundraise to make sure that older people’s voices are heard, they challenge and change attitudes, they fight discrimination wherever they find it and they tackle elder abuse in all its forms. Please dig deep and donate now, to help me, help them. 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. <strong>15/04/12 update. </strong>To date, I have already ran over 600 miles in training..... (That's more than London & back!) That's the hard work done! As you can see - running a marathon is more than just 26.2 miles - it's a major commitment in time and effort. A spring marathon means running sub-zero training runs through the winter - not for the faint hearted! Please reward all that hard work with a donation that you feel is appropriate for my efforts.</p>
