Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Great North Run 2009. It takes place on the 20th September.

I am running it with a group of people who are trying to raise money for the amazing charity, Mercy Ministries.

Please take a moment to check out their website, Mercyministries.co.uk.

If you do, click on the top button "Success Stories", and select "Debbie's Story". She is my wife and her life was literally saved by the work of Mercy Ministries.

Mercy Ministries is totally funded by financial gifts and monthly giving. These can come from churches, businesses, individuals or fundraising like this.

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.

If you can manage without a coffee or 2 this week, or take your own sandwiches to work, or rent a DVD instead of going to the cinema, and you would like to help me reach my £300 target, than please sponser me.

If 30 people gave just £10, that's the total reached!!

I know that you may say "time's are hard" in this creditcrunch, but all I am asking that you do what you can.

Thank you all in advance for your generosity!!

Love ya,

Rob Harvie
