January 2008
Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!   I am running in my very first marathon on April 13, 2008: a huge milestone for this former "non-athlete". 

In doing this race, I feel that I celebrate my own health and fitness. But at the same time I want to share with those less fortunate individuals who cannot compete in a race of this sort on their own.

My chosen charity is PhabKids: a national charity dedicated to the integration of children with and without physical disabilities in the community.  My goal is to raise at least £2000 for them and I would be so grateful for anything you can give!  With each donation I will feel that much more motivated to get out there and train on these COLD, RAINY days we have been having here in London.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure (and you can pay with a US credit card, no problem!). It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Phab 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.

Many thanks for your support.  I'll be thinking of all of you and feeling your encouragement and support as I train for the biggest race I've ever done!!

Thanks everyone!
Rebecca
