<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>This year I shall be running the Venice marathon in aid of Venice in Peril. The money they raise finances restoration and research into the underlying problems of Venice, such as flooding and tourism. They lobby for long term defence of the city, both as a monument and a living community. For all information about the work they do and how your donation will be used please visit their official website: <a href="http://www.veniceinperil.org">http://www.veniceinperil.org</a></p> <p>All Donations are greatly appreciated and doing so through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them or send you unwanted emails. All donations are sent directly to the charity and GiftAid can be reclaimed on eligable donations from UK taxpayers.</p> <p>It's possible to donate via text message too. Just send the code <span style="color: #ff0000;">HCQG71</span> to <span style="color: #ff0000;">70070</span> followed by an amount of &pound;1 to &pound;10, depending on how much you'd like to give (e.g HCQG71 &pound;5).</p> <p>Also, please do visit my blog for further information about Venice in Peril and the upcoming 2012 marathon - <a href="http://www.running4vip.blogspot.com">http://www.running4vip.blogspot.com</a></p>
