I don't know about you, but I've always watched the London marathon on TV and thought: "Hmmmm......maybe one day."

Well, on Sunday 26 April 2010 it will be my day when I line up to run the 2010 Virgin London Marathon.

I'm intending to do this mammoth task for COSMIC which is a fantastic charity which helps very poorly children and in the process hope to go from being a 17 stone unfit fat bloke (who breaks into a sweat when he winds his watch up) to a slightly lighter, thinner, fitter and less sweaty bloke can run the London Marathon in under five hours. 

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
