Hi Everyone

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and showing an interest in sponsoring me for running the New York City Marathon!

Yes you read that correctly I'm going to be running a marathon...! Call me crazy but on Nov 4th 2007 I will be taking to the streets of New York City to run the furthest that I will have ever run in my life and probably wondering WHY at the same time!!!!!!! Well the answer is easy, it's all for a VERY VERY good cause, I will be running for a charity called Sense.

Sense is the leading charity working with and campaigning for people who are BOTH deaf and blind, their families carers and professionals who work with them. Because 95% of what we learn about the world comes though our ears and eyes, deafblind people face unique problems in communication, accessing information and mobility.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SENSE will receive your money faster and if you are a UK taxpayer, an EXTRA 28% in tax will be added to your donation at NO cost to you.

I would be very grateful for any sponsorship you would be willing to give for this great cause and for the difficult challenge that awaits me.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your generosity and support and do please forward this page to anyone else who you think would be interested in supporting me in this undertaking for a really worthy charity. As you will appreciate this will be neither a holiday or a picnic for me, albeit I may need to stop for the latter halfway round!!

Kind regards and best wishes to all, but above all else thank you.

Dave
