My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my London Marathon donations page!

I'll do my best to crawl across the finishing line on the 13th April 2008 in aid of:

The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease

I've had Ulcerative Colitis, which is a bit like Crohn's Disease, for 11 years.

I take 8 pills a day but have received fantastic support from the NHS and my family and friends.

It can be a debilitating condition and although I've not had it too bad (touch wood!), I have met many people who have had to put up with chronic pain, considerable inconvenience, and in some cases, major surgery - so I guess this is my way of honouring them and paying back some of that support and goodwill!

NACC 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.

If you can spare some dosh then please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through JustGiving.com is simple, fast and totally secure.

Lastly for every £1 you donate Microsoft will match it!

Yes that's right! Microsoft will match £1 for £1 any money you donate!!!

Thanks for your time and wish me luck!

Cheers Mel
