Hi there,

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. If you've got this far then you've probably heard that I'm running the 'Run to the Beat' half marathon for Merlin on 5th October. Merlin is a great charity, doing a fantastic job in some incredibly difficult circumstances. Also I need a lot of encouragement to run 13 miles without stopping for a pint every now and then, so please sponsor me!

I hope you'll also come along on 5th October to cheer us on and listen to some great music on the way.

Donating through this site is the most efficient way to sponsor me: Merlin 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.

Many thanks for your support

Derek
