UPDATE 30th Sept 2010 - I was very proud and pleased to get round the marathon in 4h 55m, and even three weeks later I am re-living in myhead that moment crossing the finishing line

At the latest count the total money raised on Just Giving and off line is around £1200, I will put the final total on when all has been collected in.   THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, DOWNRIGHT SPECIAL WILL REALLY BE ABLE TO PUT THIS MONEY TO GOOD USE

UPDATE: Only 2 days to go to race day, I have my number and I am as ready as I will ever be. I have been incredibly nervous all week and just want to get started. I have been overwhelmed by the fantastic support I have received from generous sponsors on-line and off-line. I have far exceeded my initial target of £500 and it keeps on coming in, so THANK YOU!

Hi,

I am running my first ever marathon on 12th September and raising money for Downright Special.  This is going to be quite a challenge so I'm banking on your kind support and donations to get me round that 26.2 miles.

So, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with a– 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.
