Hey there, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year I decided that I would take on a new challenge, I had my eye on the London marathon, but getting a place proved tricky. After living in London for over 10 years, I wanted very much to raise some money for the homeless and hard-of-luck that we all pass by every day.

Fortunately, The YMCA were generouss enough to grant me a place, and in turn have pledged to raise £1800.

As everyone is aware, i appreciate that times are tough, but please bare in mind that they are far tougher for others who live on the streets here in London, so please dig deep and pledge some cash, and i'll do my very best for you in return.

Im aiming for a sub 4 hour, which might be punchy for a 1st Marathon, but hey, you need a target dont you. Follow me on Twitter @NeilEvely for regular upates.

Finally, to keep things interesting and so you feel involved in my training and run, when you donate, please nominate a song/track that you think might help me keep going as i work my way up to that 26.3 miles, from Abba to ZZ Top, im all ears (no Bieber).

Thank you for your support
