Dear Supporter

It seems a long time ago that my (now ex) mates Con O'Brien and Jeremy Barker 'persuaded' me to enter for the marathon on behalf of the British Red Cross.  After a rather unpleasant telephone interview (trust me recruiters dont like being interviewed themselves), I was offered a place to run for them on April 26th.  That's the good news.

The bad news is that it takes a lot of training (especially this time of year) and motivation - its been a slow start in that respect but as the clock is well and truly ticking, I have reluctantly now begun the severe training programme.

I am delighted to be running on behalf the British Red Cross - they do awesome work in supporting people in the UK and overseas with both large scale emergencies and more individual ones.   I am proud to support this vital work that they do. 

Donating through Just giving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Red Cross gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Just giving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!  Your sponsorship is very much appreciated. 

Best wishes

John
