Thanks to everyone, with your post-race sponsorship (what, did you think that I wouldn't do it!!!) I'm now so close to my target for PDSA! 

If you STILL haven't yet donated, you can give me CASH directly, or continue to donate via this page for the next couple of weeks!!! Or you can donate to the worthy causes of some of my running buddies, here: http://www.orprunners.com/fundraising.html

I had a ballot place and so was not obliged to raise any money for charity. I think its important to to follow the spirit of many thousands of competitors at the London raise to channel funds to areas of need.

For 2008 I selected the PDSA (http://www.pdsa.org.uk/aboutpdsa.html):

PDSA is a non-campaigning, non-political organisation that cares for the sick and injured animals of people in need. It is the largest private employer of fully-qualified veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses in Europe. It is the UK's leading veterinary charity, caring for more than 300,000 pet patients belonging to people in need. PDSA provides free veterinary treatment to sick and injured animals and promotes responsible pet ownership.
