Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

 

I have finally found a charity that is willing to give me a well sought after place in The London Marathon 2010 (thank you to my Sister In Law Namita who made it possible), I have been trying to run this for a few years and am looking forward to the challenge

All of those of you who know me i'll be pestering you to try and get money out of your pockets, blood out of a stone for some of you i know....

I will be running the Marathon to raise money for Vista, Vista is an independent charity that provides services for blind and partially sighted people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland of whom there are nearly 6000 recipients. This link will take you to information about the services offered by Vista.

 

Training starts next week (21st December) with a run to blow away the cobwebs and get me into the spirit of things. I'll update the page with my training and photo's.

 

My training has unfortunatley been curtailed by several unexpected matters but i plan to head out on a 10 mile run and start getting into those double figures this week (9 Feb 10). No photo's yet as i haven't anaged to talk anyone into coming out with me. Training is going well and i am working hard towards hitting my target time of under 3.5 Hours. Further updates to follow.

 

Please did deep into those pockets for a good and worthy cause.

 

Thank you

 

Kindest Regards
