Welcome to your new improved fundraising page. Find out what's changed and why.

What's new?

  1. The new header makes it much easier to see all the fundraising info at a glance. Plus, the page can now be shared to more social networks to encourage more people to give.
  2. The charity information is much more prominent, highlighting the cause you’re supporting.
  3. The new gallery makes it easier to see the images and video.
  4. Dedicated sections show the teams and companies you’re part of, emphasising the fundraising community you belong to.

What's coming?

The new design will also allow us to introduce some great features very soon to help you tell your fundraising story, like page updates, themes and a new page summary. Read all about these and other upcoming changes on our blog.

My story

Firstly, WATCH THIS (caution, contains RALLYING):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqGUD6Wz14w

I was moved by a video, and how could any motorsport fan (or human) not be touched it?

Oh. My. God.  What have I done? Before I knew it I'd agreed to run the Silverstone Half Marathon for the Richard Burns Foundation. damn you You Tube.

I've never run very far in my life, in fact, I'd never run at all until just over a year ago, so this seemed like a challenge worthy of 'maximum attack'.  My co-driver for the adidas Silverstone Half Marathon is Tony Hurcombe (fellow motorsport addict who races the 'mighty Fiat Bravo') and I'm determined we'll both make the finish.

Most of my runs are tracked using a GPS, so see how I'm getting on:

If you fancy coming along for a run, running partners welcome to chat to or push me that bit faster or further.

Its time for another run in the beautiful Somerset countryside....

My charity
