Hi all

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I really need your help to raise money for Kids Kidney Research. Here's why:

I ran the London marathon in 2000. I was 25, had trained hard and had abstained from alcohol for 3 months. I was blissfully ignorant of the effort that would be required. On the day, I dyed my hair green so that I could be spotted more easily in the pack and to generate extra crowd support. With the crowd pushing me on, I managed a time of 3hrs40mins. On the plus side, I beat Roger Black by a full two minutes. On the down side, I spent most of the race trailing to a guy in a spotty dog costume.

For 2009, I have foolishly decided to run the race again and of course, I have to beat my personal best.

Problems:

I'm now 34.                                                                                

I have an extra 9 years' beer and curry consumption stuccoed to my waist.    

I have very little hair left to dye.    

This time I know the pain that awaits me and I'm scared.

So, please spur me on by giving as generously as you can. As you can see, I have already started training, Rocky IV-style, out in the Swiss snows.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Kids Kidney 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!

Good luck, impressive that you are going for it again. Donation by The Hopes on 05/01/09
