My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'll be running the Edinburgh Marathon in 2010 in memory of my dad, and to raise money for a very worthwhile cause. When my dad was struggling to stay with me in intensive care, I was talking about anything and everything to keep his attention. When I started talking about running a marathon, his eyes were suddenly wide open. Sadly he lost his battle for life, but as love, memories and dreams never die a part of him lives on in me. That's the part that's going to get me to the finish line. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scottish Association for Mental Health 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.

Thank you for your support.
