<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Not only am I under-taking the gruelling 26 miles Virgin London Marathon - but in order to avoid losing a couple of bets I've made I need to do it in under 3 hours and 20 minutes.</p> <p>Considering my current hedonistic lifestyle - this is going to be the mother of all challenges - and I am now full swing into a rather painful training regime in order to complete my challenge. Please don't let my efforts go un-rewarded.</p> <p>Shelter is a fantastic charity and the work it does has become ever more relevant in our gloomy economic environment. Every two minutes someone faces losing their home and their are 4 million children who live in poverty after their housing costs have been met. Please dig deep to help them out and encourage me to get round the course.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dave</p>
