Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On April 5th I'm running in the Paris Marathon.   My aim is to get around in less than 24 hours without resorting to public transport or ambulance.

If I complete it   I'll probably run one every other week - but this is my first effort, and surely worthy of sponsorship!  

I am raising money for Emmaus Leeds and Emmaus Bradford who offer valuable support to homeless people.   The Bradford branch is newly established, and particularly in need of start up funding.

Thanks for the donations to date - and the comments.  Mr. Swoboda - very generous offer to double the donation - I suspect your money is safe;  Mrs. Ridgeway - I am touched by your confidence in me;  Mr. Dodd - what scandalous libels!   That was actually the only sober photo I could locate!  I'm  holding a baby (cropped out of shot) which is why I may appear slightly agitated...

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