Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

In October last year I was supposed to go to Cuba to do a mountain trek, but due to a series of last minute problems, couldn't go. Instead, Heart Research UK kindly offered me a place in this years London Marathon, which I foolishly accepted.

To be honest, I think this "little jolly" may be harder than the Cuba trip, which was a measly 5 days of wandering through idylic scenery, er I mean, really inhospitable mountain territory. This will be a looooooad of training in advance, followed by a horrendous run through the smoggy streets of London, alongside people - many of whom I'm reliably informed - tend to lose control of their faculties at the 19 mile mark. Nice.

So, anything you can spare - even in these credit crunch times, would be gratefully received.

The generous people who donated to the Cuba trip, your kind donation (with your approval, of course) has been transferred, behind the scenes, to this fund. You are therefore justifiably excused from donating further! Except for the rich ones amongst you!...

Many thanks, Scott.
