<p>I've got a charity place to run the London Marathon ..... so pleeeeease sponsor me. I'm not a natural runner and this is a big personal challenge.</p> <p>I chose to do it for the EFDS as I've experienced what sport and the outdoors can do for health and wellbeing irrespective of sporting talent.</p> <p>My dad's kidneys failed when he was a young man. &nbsp;Although never a sportsman, a few months after pioneering transplant surgery he cycled the 70 miles from home in Leicester to Addenbrookes Hospital for charity and took part in the Transplant Olympics. This made such a difference to his health, confidence and well-being. Remembering this still inspires me to this day.</p> <p>If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift for free.</p> <p>Go on .... please do it now.</p> <p>Thanks!!</p>
