ING New York City Marathon 2008 · 2 November 2008 ·

We are East Anglian Air Ambulance. A charity providing lifesaving critical care, 24/7, every day of the year across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. Whether by air or road, we’re there for the most seriously ill and injured, when every second counts.

Story

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page.

I am running the New York Marathon on 2nd November. The course is 26.2 miles through the 5 boroughs of New York.... Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Harlem, with the finish line in Central Park.

This  will be my first marathon and the training has been pretty gruelling.... in order to get to the required level of fitness I've had weekly personal training sessions, miles and miles of training runs and of course cutting back on socialising.

With less than ONE week to go I'm really excited and hope you will join me in raising funds for my chosen charity, East Anglian Air Ambulance.  I'm funding the trip myself so every penny that I raise will go to where it's most needed.  The charity works extremely hard to raise funds and they do not receive any government , NHS or lottery funding - 76.8% of all money raised is spent on helicopter operations and medical equipment.  Please see across the page for further information.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: East Anglian Air Ambulance gets 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.

In these uncertain times, I really will appreciate any financial support you are able to offer and will let you know how it goes!
