Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We plan to complete the first Brighton Marathon on April 18th 2010.

This is going to be a tough challenge for us - running 26 miles around Brighton and Hove having avoided exercise for years! Want to see the route? Click http://www.brightonmarathon.co.uk/course.html (make sure you come back to donate though!!)

We want to raise as much as we can for a very good cause - the Myositis Support Group (www.myositis.org.uk). Our chosen charity is run by Matt's uncle Les and his wife Irene - who set it up after their daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis. The charity does some excellent work and Les was awarded an MBE this year in recognition of almost 30 years of hard work. 

So please help out however you can.

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.

Do what you can - it'll be worth it to see us suffer!

Thanks very much for your support - every bit helps.
