Thank you for visiting my (and now my wifes) fundraising page.

Yes it is true (and you can all stop laughing right now) we are both now running the 2008 London Marathon.  I am pleased to say we have both been accepted to run for St John Ambulance so we can assure you all the fundraising is going to a great cause. 

Ok... from a personal perspective I've had 14 years of wifey's great cooking since the last serious run but my 85Kg's is about to hit the streets again.  I'd like to say that I'm 85Kg's of finely tuned running machine but (as I said) it has been 14 years of great cooking, or more specifically, great eating.  Lets call it re-fueling.  

To be honest the only reason my loving husband has convinced me to run the London Marathon is, he thought (wrongly) that keeping me fully occupied training I wouldn’t have time to travel; the cities, exotic locations, historic sites, churches and castles and SHOP!  How wrong is he!  The reason I’m doing it; well he simply can’t be trusted alone!  And, OK , I may have to concede that it will help balance out all the wonderful foreign and local food and wine I will be and have been consuming. 

Anyway that aside we need your help.  We are running to raise money for St John Ambulance.  A great cause not only in the UK but around the world.  Every little bit helps so please do what you can and don't forget to leave a message (of support preferably).

... and now a message from our sponsor.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor : St John Ambulance 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.

Many thanks for your support.
