My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the 2012 Virgin London Marathon to raise badly needed money for ENABLE Scotland. Together with its sister charity Mencap it supports children and adults with learning disabilities to live  a full and active life with their local community.

Those helping people with learning disabilities are hugely under-resourced and under-recognised. One sign of this is that I am so far the ONLY London Marathon runner raising cash for ENABLE while many other better funded charities have hundreds of participants.

This will be by far the greatest physical challenge of my life. Follow my progress, or lack of it, on Facebook or Twitter.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks, from me and those who would like to express their gratitude but find it difficult.

Scott
