Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I shall be running the London Marathon on Sunday the 13th of April. It will be my first marathon and I am looking forward to it. I started the training before Christmas last year and train about 5 to 6 days a week, week after week... I am aiming for a time under the 3 hours 45 minutes and during training runs when I feel particularly strong, I like to think I can get under the 3 hours and 30 minutes. Maybe keeping up with Paula Radcliffe for the first 20 miles and then see how the legs feel ! The reason for running the marathon is not just a matter of wanting to run a marathon, but more so to raise money for The Children's Society. This is a charity that raises money to support children who are unable to find support they so desperately need anywhere else. The projects run by The Children's Society help over 50,000 children and their families each year. To sustain these projects and be able to do more, The Children's Society needs money, lots of it. Therefore I am asking you to sponsor my marathon and by doing so give all those children a better future. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Children's Society 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! Many thanks for your support. Onwijs bedankt voor je bijdrage. Best regards, Vriendelijke groet, Joost
