Hello!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. On 30th September 2007 I will be attempting to complete my first (and quite possibly only!) marathon in Berlin. Since this will be a big challenge, I have decided to run to raise money for the Marine Conservation Society, a charity whose aims are very close to my heart, as anyone who knows me will realise. The MCS campaigns for clean seas and beaches, sustainable fisheries, protection of marine life and habitats and the sensitive use of our marine resources for future generations.

If you are visiting my site you are probably a friend or family member and if so, I know that you love the sea in some way, whether you're into diving, coasteering, sailing or surfing, poking about in rockpools or just lying on the beach! The work of the MCS will ensure that we can keep enjoying the sea and all the amazing creatures that live in, on and around it, and hopefully see our kids enjoy them too. I think that's really important and I hope you agree. Check out www.mcsuk.org to find out more and if you feel like I do, please, please pledge whatever you can to sponsor me online. Apart from anything else, I'll need all the support I can get just to finish!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the Marine Conservation Society 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,
