Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On 26th April I ran the 2009 London marathon. And it was damn tough!

I was once again raising money for Venture Scotland.  I love this charity - they do brilliant work and it's a pleasure to be involved with them.  Since I last raised money for them the credit crunch has reared its ugly head and their funding has taken a hit as a result.  So I want to raise as much money for them as I can to ensure that the excellent work they do remains well supported.

This year is also their 21st birthday, and in honour of their 'coming of age' I was aiming to knock 21 minutes off my previous best time for a marathon (from 3.52 to 3.31) and raise £2100.  As it was I finished in 3.47. Still a big PB, but short of my target.  Even so, I tried VERY hard and I'd be delighted with any support you can give me!

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