My story
200 miles of training under my belt, time to set up the fundraising page!
I am running the London Marathon this year for two reasons;
1) to raise money for the Rainforest Foundation (more below) 
2) to beat the time my dad ran when he was 22 (3.19.....thats pretty quick).
I would really appreciate your support & donations of any size.
I'll keep you updated on training...

Why this charity?
Every year an area of rainforest the size of England and Wales is cut down.
The Rainforest Foundation are london based rainforest conservation group (founded by Sting) with an original approach. They target deforestation by helping forest communities to gain land rights, challenge logging companies and manage forests for their own wellbeing. They believe that those with a vested interest in the sustainability of their environment are the best custodians of the land.
I have been fortunate enough to travel through and meet communities in tropical rainforests in Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Tanzania. I certainly hope they are still around for my retirement!! 
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Rainforest Foundation, UK 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!
