Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I have had to pull out of this year's marathon due to injury. I will be looking to do a marathon later in the year to justify everyone's generousity towards me. Please do not give any further money on this page at the moment.

I am once again raising money for MEDICS, as I was on the receiving end of the great work they do when I had a car crash over ten years ago. Without their dedication and skill I would not be alive today.

The picture on the left was taken after I finished last year. As you can see I don't look in good shape (pay particular attention to the bloodied left nipple!). I am hoping to finish a bit quicker this year, so imagine how much worse I'm likely to feel this time around. Please sponsor MEDICS and make me feel like it has all been worthwhile.

If you are a UK resident the government will add a further 28(ish) percent to your donation and then the company I work for, UBS, will double anything that I raise. That means that every 10 pounds added by a UK resident turns into over 25 quid!

For all the non-UK residents, the tenner will still be doubled up to twenty pounds by UBS.

Anything you can contribute is really appreciated.

Many thanks for your support, Dave.
