Thankyou so much for sponsoring me in my foolish marathon quest. I managed to get round in 4 hours and 37 seconds, only to be taken out with a bottle of bubbly at the finishing line - thanks Clare! I've nearly reached my target of £1,000, which is great credit to you all and your generous donations. Thankyou once again.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Maybe it's an early mid-life crisis or the daunting responsibility of fatherhood, but I've decided to test myself in the crucible of pain and sheer bloody mindedness that is the Brighton Marathon on Sunday, April 18, 2010.
I'm running (or will that be staggering?) for Target Tuberculosis - a Brighton-based charity that does lots of good work around the world fighting TB. It's also where our lovely friend Clare works!
Despite being considered a disease of the past, tuberculosis, alongside malaria and HIV/AIDS, is one of the world's biggest killers, with nine million new cases emerging every year.
So please help to support me in raising money for this worthy charity by contributing whatever you feel you are able to. £10 could provide transport and X-ray costs for someone with TB to access life-saving diagnosis and treatment in rural . £40 could provide the entire course of treatment for one person suffering from TB and prevent them infecting up to 15 others.
The more you give the harder I will run!
Patrick
