My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Whether you’ve jeered me or cheered me I am sure you would like to show support for me when running the Flora London Marathon on 13 April 2008.

A top level referee covers approximately 13km in a Premiership game and runs non-stop for only 4 minutes maximum in training. It will therefore take a lot of adapting of my fitness in order to complete the Marathon let alone do it in under 4 hours.

All proceeds will be given to Iain Rennie Hospice at Home so what better way to support a really worthy cause and make sure that "The Thing From Tring" has to endure over 26 miles of endurance running.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

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

Many thanks for your support.
