Thanks for dropping by. Claire and I are probably trundling around rural Oxfordshire right now in a vain attempt to get fit enough to complete the 2010 London Marathon and you can follow our progress on www.poundingthestreets.com

It would be great if you could show your support by making a donation here. My daughter Paige, aged 7, has been blind since birth and the RNIB provide invaluable support to her and many others without the gift of sight. Claire who is running a marathon for the first time this year, works on a daily basis with Paige as her one to one Teaching Assistant at Wantage CE Primary School.

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 flex that plastic. We can guarantee it will make you feel better than we do right now!
