Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll keep this honest and brief - I am running a half marathon in training for a marathon next year. Have i done any training for this.... no.... will i actually make it.... thats debatable.... why am i doing it.... thats a good question.... i guess it seemed like a good idea at the time..... but to be honest i am pretty much over it already.

However i've said i will do it - so I will.....

On a more serious note, i am raising money for the Salvation Army, a charity my family and I have supported for many many years - In short we all live pretty priviledged lives (lets not kid ourselves) .... not everyone has that luxury...so please think about the less fortunate and give generously.

I am aiming to raise at least £1000.... and any shortfall I will cover myself.

and the best part is..... work has said they will match any donation that i manage to raise..... which is where my lovelly friends and family (you guys.... mooowah) come into the picture......

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 please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks to everyone.
