Hi and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the back of several half marathons and a mid life crisis I have foolishly agreed to run the 2012 London marathon for HACT.

I'm investing huge amounts of time and training to ensure I can complete this once in a lifetime 26.2 mile challenge during what is the Olympic year.

I know times are tough for many people and so I really would be so grateful if you could pledge your support to encourage me along on those dark cold days of training that lay ahead!

PLEASE do take the last easy steps and dig deep and sponsor me. I desperately need all the help I can get.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Or you can donate by texting the code NICK68 and the amount between £1 and £10 to 70070

Many thanks for your support
