Hello!

In April I will once again pound the streets of the capital for the 2005 Flora London Marathon.

This will be my third marathon and I intend to make it my best by smashing through my personal best time of 3 hours 57 minutes and also raising more money than ever before.

I'l look after my knees and take care of the first part but I'm going to need your help for the latter goal. If you could dig deep and be as generous as you can both Cystic Fibrosis Trust and I will be extremely grateful.

CF Trust has set themselves a target of raising £15 million over five years which will go to fund gene therapy with the aim of finding a way to correct the basic gene defect that causes CF.

So empty those pockets, bank accounts and piggy banks into this page, and don't be afraid to ask your friends to visit and add their contribution! Thank you for your generosity, Andy And now a few words from justgiving.com: "Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Andy: Cystic Fibrosis Trust 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."
