You are reading this so you must be thinking about sponsoring me.... my message to you is - don't think, JUST DO IT! Hey, that's catchy.... maybe I should use it as my official strapline before a multi billion pound sports giant cottons on and steals it from me....

hmmm....

In all seriousness, you know if you think you'll sponsor me in a bit, you won't so please do it now. It'll take you less than a minute and think of all the good karma you'll get.

Wait a minute. I forgot to even say why you should sponsor me.

I'm running the New York Marathon in November.

I am running to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. There's lots of info about them to the left of here - hopefully you agree that they're a great charity.

If you do think they are a good charity, please dig deep. I know I joke around, but every penny will be put to a fantastic cause. Even small donations can make a big difference.

Hopefully I'll do you all proud in return come the race in November.

Thank you!

The small print bit....

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Marie Curie Cancer Care 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
