My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Earlier today, Sunday April 13th, I undertook one of the most rewarding challenges of my life - running the Flora London Marathon. For the record I managed to run the whole 26.2 miles finishing with a time of 3 hours and 56 minutes.

All the hard work over the last 12 weeks leading up to today has been worth it as I was raising much needed funding for "Christian Aid" a fabulous charity that I've been a supporter of for many years.

Many thanks to all of you who have already sponsored me - the support has been fantastic but if you didn't manage to earlier then there is still some time to help push the total up further - I'd like now to get to £3500.

Just think - £10 could buy a disaster survival kit for a family who have been flooded e.g. in Bangladesh, providing food, matches, oil, blankets and cooking utensils.

Just think - £20 could buy a resettlement pack containing maize, beans, pans, plates, an axe and a hoe - essentials to help farmers rebuild their livelihoods e.g in Angola where the civil war had lasted almost 30 years.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Christian Aid 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.

So please sponsor me now and help create an equal future for all!

Many thanks for your support.
