Hi All, Welcome to my Just Giving page. As many of you know, this year I will be running the London Marathon for Help For Hospices with a number of colleagues. I am the first to admit that I am not the fittest of people, and incredibly lazy, but training is well underway which you will be able to track on my runkeeper account.

I have set myself the target of completing the marathon in under 5 hours, which in itself will be a massive achievement for me, but I would also like to raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity that is Help for Hospices.

I would be extremely appreciative if you are able to help me along the way with your support and encouragement, but if you are able to afford a small donation (or a big one) to help motivate me to complete this huge challenge then I will be forever grateful :)

I will keep you all updated with my progress along the way but take a look at this link to see how my training is going
