Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I turned 40 and I have said for a long time that I would run a marathon this year. I've always admired the fact that my Dad ran a number of marathons when I was a child. So this is it!

And who better to run for than Oasis - the charity that Ruth has worked for for over 15 years. Right now I'm just getting this website up and running but I'll try to update it - and send you, my supporters - regular updates on my training and fundraising targets ... and let you know a bit more about the work of Oasis too.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
