I am running the London Marathon later this month, and am raising funds for Children's Brain Tumour Research.

Some of you may be aware that brave little Emily Metlerkamp (from Becky's year at St Ives) is currently recovering from a 9 hour operation to remove a tumour from her brain. The prognosis is positive but the road to recovery is long. I am honoured to have the opportunity to support her in some small way by raising money for this charity. Please help me if you can (with the fundraising not the running!!)

Children's Brain Tumour Research do some tremendous work improving overall understanding of the disease and developing innovative and succesful new treatments for young patients.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Brain Tumor Research 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 - however small or large it will be much appreciated - and not just by me !

Many thanks in advance
