Story

<p>It's that time of year again folks. It's been a while but I am currently in possession of 10 toenails and it's making my feet itch a little.</p> <p>I'm not as daft as I once was, so no 5 marathons in 5 days followed by a trip to casualty this year. Just the one marathon, 26.2 miles in sunny Edinburgh!</p> <p>I'm raising money for a charity called Action Housing and Support Limited. It&nbsp;is an amazing charity which works with vulnerable young people, offenders, ex-offenders, people with mentral health issues, substance misusers and people with alcohol problems.</p> <p>Action Housing and Support aims to assist vulnerable people, helping them to&nbsp;establish a home&nbsp;and live independently and responsibly in society.</p> <p>It is a tough time for any housing charity in the current economic climate amid public sector cuts. During 2010/2011 there was a 15% increase in homelessness applications and vulnerable people need the helping hand provided by charities like&nbsp;Action Housing more than ever.</p> <p>Any donation is appreciated, the alternative is a foot rub somewhere between mile 18 and 26... and my feet won't be a pretty sight!!!</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</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>
