Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Venice Marathon on 24 October 2010.  The start is located in Stra (a small country town about 25 km west of Venice), at the beginning of “Riviera del Brenta”, the beautiful riverside area where rich and noble Venetians built their vacation mansions in the 18th century.  The finish is in the historic centre of Venice, on the embankment named Riva Sette Martiri, in a scenic position facing the lagoon.  The first half of the race develops in a typical countryside landscape, following the course of the river in the “Riviera del Brenta”.

The marathon goes through the centre of Marghera and Mestre (i.e. the boroughs of the city of Venice located on the mainland), runs for 3 kilometres inside San Giuliano’s Park (the largest urban green area in Europe) and gets to Venice via the Liberty Bridge (a flat and straight bridge long just a little less than 4 kilometres).  The race proceeds in the Venice port area and reaches the city centre for the last kilometres, which are simply unique.

Marathoners run next to the Giudecca Canal to Punta della Dogana, where they cross the Grand Canal on a pontoon bridge, especially built for the race.  Passing by Piazza San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale, the marathon route gets to the finish line located in Riva Sette Martiri.

 

I have selected the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance as the Wilde Group (CEM Fencing) has chosen them as their charity of the year as they celebrate 25 years of business (1985 to 2010).

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 and help me to reach my target in aid of the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
