It's time for a new challenge, JL taught me that you should always keep trying new things and learning from your experiences, with this i've decided to run a half marathon! To go one step further I will be hoping to raise a huge amount of money for the 'John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation' which was set up in memory of QJL John Thornton who was killed in action in 2008. After meeting his parents I realised that their hearts and souls are in this foundation and they need all the support they can get.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
