Story

Dear All,

As you may know I am taking part in the 2009 London Marathon for charity. As I am running for the Book Trade charity, I think it would be great for you to give something on the basis you may need it some day!! Look at it as investing for the future (ha ha).

I am busy training as much as possible and hope to complete the course in under 4hrs.....though let's be honest, just finishing will be enough!

Please donate as much or as little as possible as I have to reach a target of £2500 - so anything you can give would be great.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BTBS The book trade charity 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.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page - please sponsor me now!
