My story

Hi All, Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, no you are not mistaken, I genuinely have entered for the marathon...!!

As many of you will know, this will be no small endeavour for someone like me - I have absolutely no athletic prowess and the closest I normally get to exercise is watching the dog run around from the comfort of a park bench!! However, the charity I have chosen is an immensely good cause , so I'm going to put the booze and burgers aside (...well, cut down, anyway), train hard, and make myself get round!

I am running for "Bag Books", who provide multi-sensory storytelling to children (and now adults) with the most profound of learning difficulties, helping them to develop communication and learning skills. Its a fantastic charity helping around 15,000 children every year, so please dig deep!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bag Books 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.

Thanks so much for all your support.
