Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money once more for Sparks, a charity dedicated to funding and championing pioneering research into a range of conditions effecting babies, children and mums-to-be.

Last time I ran the marathon in 2010 I was part of a team of 12 whose inspiration was Ellen Walker, a little girl of friends of mine battling with neuroblastoma, and whose ongoing treatment has been aided by charity research work undertaken from charities such as Sparks. Fundraising for Sparks forms such an important role in enabling this charity, amongst many, to change lives in a positive way.

This year I'm fortunate enough to attempt the marathon for the third time whilst making the most of this opportunity to raise money for a great cause.  Any donation, large or small, makes a difference and in return I will give it my best shot on the day - mile 16 onwards will really put mind, mettle and muscles to the test ! 

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.
