I am running in the 2013 Virgin London Marathon to raise vital funds for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Charity.

Royal Manchester Children's Hospital is the largest children's hospital in the UK, treating over 200,000 children every year. The hospitals receives patients from all over the North West, from Cumbria, through Lancashire and Greater Manchester and down to Stoke. The charity helps to provide excellence in treatment, care and research at the hospital, and aims to make the experiences of very poorly children a little easier.

So please dig deep and donate now.
