Dear all,

 

I'm running the Great North Run half-marathon in a few weeks time, in support of a charity called Mercy Ships (http://www.mercyships.org/ ). 

You can find out more details on their important work on their website; they provide basic, essential healthcare to some of the most deprived people in the world. 

I was supposed to run for them last year, but had to defer my entry after breaking my collarbone, so this year I've tried to make up by training hard - and cycling much more carefully ;) 

Please give generously! 

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
