those of you who know me will be wondering 'He must be mad, running the London Marathon for charity!' - and you'd be right, mad as a hatter!

Having coined the phrase 'a block to walk is a block too far', I'll need some real 'Kiwi Magic' to spur me along as I slog it out for 26 odd miles for a great charity - the Childrens Trust.

So please give generously, if not for the children, do it for for my aching feet!

Please sponsor me online. It's the most efficient way for me to raise funds for my charity. If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.

Both myself and my chosen charity really appreciate your donation. Any amount will make a difference but please try to give generously!

Many thanks.
