This year I have completed a hat trick of London endurance events. I ran the London Marathon on April 13 - a fantastic experience that I would recommend (with suitable preparation!) to anybody. Next came the 56 miles of the London to Brighton bike ride, including conquering the dreaded Ditchling Beacon at 48 miles. Finally I rounded off the "3" with the London Triathlon in the blistering heat of August 3. I've done all this for charity - so I need your help.

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

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

Many thanks.
