Hello! Well this is it, I'm running the London Marathon! I still can't quite believe that I'm doing it but too late now!

Anyway this is why I'm running it, I'm running for IndependentAge who make a major difference to peoples lives, and I know that scores of other older people have benefitted from financial help and, sometimes more importantly, with the friendship that this amazing charity offers.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

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