Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

It has been well documented that my weight has continued to increase by one stone for every year i have served in the fire brigade. Competing in the Great North Run will have the dual benefits of raising money for a very worthy cause and kick starting my weight loss programme.

So please dig deep and donate now.
