My story

 
As some of you may know, I have signed up to run the London Marathon in 2009. And as almost all of you know, I have hardly been the peak of human fitness or dedication for most of my life. So you can all imagine how much of a foolish thing this is, and how much of a slog it going to be.

Rather than just doing this for my own punishment, I am running for a charity close to my heart, Severn Hospice. They are a hospice based in Shropshire who care for those with progressive illnesses across a broad age range. To find out more please go here

http://www.severnhospice.org.uk

I hope that you will all support me in this, in many ways. The first and most important is by sponsoring me. I have a target of £1500 I want to raise, but to be honest, want to aim higher. Please help me to achieve this and help Severn Hospice to continue their invaluable work!

And a big thanks to all who have already sponsored me, you've help is greatly appreciated!

(It shouldn't matter where in the world you are, it takes donations from everyone. It's only the gift aid that British can do alone)

And in addition, if you are based in or around London, I'd love to see you somewhere along the route! It will be a tough going and would really lift my spirits to see any of you that can make it.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Severn Hospice 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.

So please sponsor me now!
