TARGET RAISED FROM GBP 500 TO GBP 750. THANKS EVERYBODY.

Approximately two hours after he has crossed the finishing line you might see my battered body slowly appearing on the horizon. Closely followed by the sweeper van. That is if I am lucky and everything goes according to plan...

That's right I will be running my first marathon on October 7th. Which explains me limping around the office for the past couple of months usually on Mondays. No, it wasn't the side effects of yet another heavy weekend (ok, once or twice perhaps) it was those long and painful Sunday runs whilst all you clever people were down the pub for a pint and a roast.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Medecins Sans Frontieres will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If you would like to sponsor that would be great. Thanks a lot in anticipation.
