Story

<p>In my madness I have once again agreed to run a half marathon to raise money for AV UK. It is a small charity and each donation makes a big difference to deaf children and their families.</p> <p>Sadly Zia has abandoned me this time (or she is merely more sane), so I am running this one on my own. There has been more training than last time, although that wasn't hard to exceed. I am hoping to improve my time by at least 20 minutes. If you do feel able to donate, however small, it would be a big boost to me as I struggle round the Silverstone Circuit.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
