If you are reading this then I must have bored, bullied, cajoled and coerced you into donating to The Red Cross for my New York marathon attempt.

Admittedly running a marathon is not one of my brighter ideas but a least I am marginally thinner.

Thank you once again for donating, it means a lot.

Lots of love and thanks for the generosity,

Mike Stern

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.
