Phill, running the Marathon........yes, it's true! For those of you who know me, you will understand that I am not blessed with a similar build to Haile Gebrselassie or Paula Radcliffe!! I am however, going to attempt to achieve the same distance that they do. Not in the same time obviously! If I make it around this course, it will not be an easy task, but all the suffering I will endure on April 13th (and for the weeks following it) will be worth it if we raise lots of money and make a difference to someone's life.

Before you dip into your pockets, take a moment to look at Jack's website at www.jackbrownappeal.org I guarantee that reading about what he and his family have been through will make you want to give everything you possibly can.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Jack Brown Appeal will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Phill
