Dear People I Know,

Freak training accidents permitting, I am running the 2012 London marathon for housing charity HACT.

If you've come to this page either a) you have already decided to sponsor me so I can save you the blurb or b) you wanted to see me looking like a young(ish) Freddie Mercury and have no interest in sponsoring me.

Either way, ta.

Now, sponsor me. Or don't.

But do.

Now the bit about Just Giving and Gift Aid that you all know but I can't be bothered to delete....

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.
