Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

Every 5 minutes, someone dies from heart diseases in the UK. We need to tackle this problem head on, and we need to start today. Your donations will fund lifesaving medical research to find new treatments and cures. We need your help, until there are no more deaths from heart diseases.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Despite my advanced age I am attempting to run the London Marathon on 26th April 2009. The nearer it gets the longer 26.2 miles sounds.

I am running in memory of Nick Bill - my business partners son. Nick died of heart failure, aged just 21, a year ago. I hope that funds raised can help to prevent such tragic happenings.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Heart Research UK 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.

So please sponsor me now! I'll let you know how I get on.
