My personal message:

*** I DID IT!! 4 hours 16 minutes. Many thanks to all who have sponsored me - your support means a lot to me and the GTF. If you haven't sponsored me and would like to, there's still time! ***

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

This will be my fourth marathon and the second time I'll be running London, having been lucky enough to secure a place through my wonderful running club, Tipton Harriers. As many of you will know I started running marathons after being inspired by Geoff Thomas, who went from sporting role model to real-life hero when he responded to chronic myeloid leukaemia with the same determination and ambition that defined his football career.

During his first 18 months in remission Geoff raised over £200,000 for leukaemia charities, most notably through his Tour de France challenges in 2005 and 2007. His incredible story is an example to us all, and gives hope to those with leukaemia and their families by showing what can be achieved through this life-saving research. The Geoff Thomas Foundation continues this work: more information can be found on http://www.geoffthomasfoundation.com/. I would really welcome your support for this excellent cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Geoff Thomas Foundation 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!

Once again, many thanks for your support.
