<p>Hi everyone. Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Last year Emma and I decided that we wanted to run a marathon. Why? Firstly because it's a great opportunity to raise some money for those who need it most. And second, I don't really enjoy running and I'm not very good at it - so I guess it's the perfect challenge.</p> <p>Not knowing what charity I should run for, I turned to my brother Rob. As a man who dedicates his life to helping others I thought he would know best and indeed Off The Fence is a really fantastic charity. Take a second to read their mission below and I know you'll agree that your donation will make a real difference.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Off The Fence Trust is a Brighton based registered charity founded on a Christian vision and driven by Christian values. The charity provides vital services to the most vulnerable and marginalised in our community. The charity works in the three areas of street homelessness, women facing times of crisis and schools and youth. Off The Fence staff are supported by an enthusiastic and committed group of more than 80 volunteers.</em></span></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>Please do make a donation - it really will make a difference. If not for the charity, then do it to help Emma and me complete the 26.2 miles around Paris!</p>
