Hi Everyone,

This will be a first for me - slogging it out in the Great North Run 2009 and I can't wait.

I'm hard at training at the moment. And you know what's keeping me going? The thought of trying to raise all this money for the two charities of which I'm a patron.

You can find details below about Cash For Kids while Someone Cares is a charity for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Any cash, big or small, would be most gratefully received by myself and all those people who could benefit from your kind generosity.

So please take two minutes to sponsor me. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: my two charities get 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.

Wish me luck, I promise I won't let you down.

Thanks lots,

Pip
