Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On 12 October I am running the Royal Parks Half-Marathon for my local Samaritans branch - the Samaritans of Waltham Forest.

At Samaritans we offer completely confidential emotional support 24 hours a day to people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those that may lead to suicide.

We offer this service by telephone, personal visit, email, SMS texting and letter, as well as outreach activity at festivals, in prisons, hospitals, schools, the workplace and with homeless people.

Samaritans of Waltham Forest aims to raise £10,000 this year to further develop its services – and it all starts here!

I am also running for the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Trust where I have been the Director for some five years.

With your help, I'd like to raise £500 for each charity. Feel free to give to one or the other...or both! If you have no preference please donate to the one with the lowest total.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Samaritans of Waltham Forest will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.


Many thanks in advance for your support.
