I know it's hard to believe...but I've decided to fulfil a secret lifelong ambition and attempt to run this year's London Marathon in April.  In the process, I would like to raise money for the Alzheimer's Research Trust and would really appreciate your help.

So thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  Donating through this Justgiving website is quick, easy and totally secure.  It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Research Trust 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 and I promise never to ask you for money again.*
