Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Other than the personal challenge of getting my hobbit feet (hairy and curved in the wrong places) to run 26 miles, there is an important reason why I'm running for Asthma UK.  I'm lucky enough that my asthma is mild and doesn't really effect my quality of life (other than making me pretty grumpy and unpleasantly judgemental amongst smokers).  But Ali, my cousin's wife and mother to James and Billy, died two years ago after having an asthma attack. Her tragic death was a shocking reminder of the seriousness of the condition.  Please help me to raise money and awareness for Asthma UK.  It will be the memory of Ali and the generosity of my friends, family and colleagues that will get me round New York on 1st November.
