Hello. In April I'm running the 2010 London Marathon. 

I'm running in support of the meningitis uk charity.  When I was at school a good friend of mine died of the terrible disease and I've remained very close to the family since then. Every penny you can sponsor me will go towards saving lives and researching meningitis. Please give what you can, I know times are tough and everyone is asking you for cash but this is a really good cause.

I aim to do the marathon in about 4 and 1/2 hours and training is back in full flow after I injured my knee just before Xmas. It's gonna be a hard slog but worth it.

Thanks.
