ING NEW YORK MARATHON - SUNDAY 2nd NOV 2008

Hi and first of all thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am running or attempting to run the New York Marathon on the 2nd Nov and wondered if you would sponsor me. It is 26.2 miles around New York and the charity I am running for is Leukaemia CARE which is a cause particular close to me. This is my first attempt at running a marathon and will probably be my last!

I won't be alone though as I am running it with my partner Mark and a close friend of ours, Matt, both who I know will be encouraging me round. (I will definitely need it).

I started training at the end of March and will be attempting to run the whole way round and though the training has been going well, there have been a few lapses and it is certainly up and down but I am persevering. I recently completed my first half marathon and found it tough going but I have reached the halfway stage of my training and at least managed to run the whole way.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure and if you would like to sponsor me it is also the most efficient way. Leukaemia CARE 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 if would like to sponsor me, no matter how small then that would be fantastic and I would really appreciate it.

I will update the page to let you know how the training is going and thank you for taking the time to read.
