My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I've been applying to run the London Marathon for the past 4 years now and have finally been given the chance to take part. It was always my hope that I would be able to support a local charity that benefits children and their surroundings, and to that end I feel I have found a perfect match with Pepper and the good work that they deliver.

I'm currently juggling my training for the marathon between work, family life (married with two children; George 6 and Grace 4) and supporting Watford FC, and not necessarily in that order! I'm often found pounding the pavements at the dead of night or crack of dawn in order to fit everything in.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Pepper Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Anything you're able to give is very much appreciated!!
