Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As most of you will know, I am running my first (and probably only) marathon in Chicago in October. 

Training has gone well, and barring injuries or excessive heat on the day, I am on track to get around.  An added incentive to me completing the course will be raising money for a great cause.

Many of you will be aware of the care that Willen Hospice provided to Maureen, Jackie's mum.  In these cash strapped times, Willen really needs support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 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 please dig deep and donate now. 

I'll be thinking of you in Vegas (where we go to recuperate after the marathon).  I can guarantee your money is safe and I will not gamble it when I am there.
