Hello there.

As I am sure most of you will know by now (!) I'm running the Milton Keynes Half Marathon on 8 July. It's my first go at running this distance and I am running in aid of Action for Children, a charity which works with the UK's most vulnerable and neglected children and young people. I'd really appreciate any donations you can make.

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.
