My story

Dear EVERYONE,

Presumably if you have come to this page then you are aware of the fact that I am running the 2012 London marathon for HACT (the Housing Action Charity) and are toying with the possibility of sponsoring me. Well, thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I can assure you that your donation will be well spent helping an amazing charity do vital work helping housing providers improve the wellbeing of some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in troubled and marginalised communities. For details on exactly what that means and what work HACT do, keep an eye on my running blog (http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/home-run/6507990.bloglead).

Please take two minutes to carry out the final easy steps to  sponsoring me. I will be extremely grateful for whatever you can spare for this great cause - and I desperately need all the help I can get.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

And here is a cheeky story in Inside Housing (in which I am called 'Mr Duxbury') about my Amsterdam marathon run http://www.insidehousing.co.uk/regulation/inside-housing-news-editor-completes-marathon/6524322.article

In case you are out of the loop, I injured myself and had to drop out of the London Marathon in April. So, in the knowledge I owed you all some pain, last weekend I ran the Amsterdam Marathon in 4 hours and 24 minutes. Massive thanks to all of you who so kindly sponsored me.
