Hey all...

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to visit my page. It is very much appreciated.

I will be running this year's London marathon and, despite what people may say, it turns out it's not as easy as you might have thought! But I'm running it to raise much-needed funds for Camp Simcha, a cause which is  important enough to make the effort it will take seem an almost insignificant contribution.

For a bit of background on Camp Simcha, please see the...quot;About our charity" bit on the left of this page, under the picture of me and my training partner, as well as the Camp Simcha website. The care and support it provides to both children and their families going through difficult times can make an enormous difference, whether it is the fun activities put on for the children, hospital and home visits, the ability to share with others going through similar experiences or simply knowing that there is somewhere and someone to turn to who cares and will be there to help when needed.

One final request...you can be a part of helping Camp Simcha by simply forwarding a link to this page to anyone who may know me or anyone else you think may want to help out...so please take a minute to do so. Largest donation gets to choose the clothes I run in (within reason...lol!) and all are welcome to come and watch me cross the finishing line just ahead of Paula Radcliffe on 26 April 2009!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Camp Simcha 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! If you prefer to donate offline, please contact me direct. Cheques can be made payable to Camp Simcha.
