Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

See the gorgeous blonde on the left of your screen? Her name is Katie and she will be 4 just before I do my 2nd London Marathon. She was born with Multicystic Displastic Kidney and has only 1 functioning kidney. I want to raise money for Kideny Research UK so they can use it towards research into treatments for and the causes of kidney disease.

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

I ran the 2006 London Marathon in just under 6 and a half hours. I aim to do 2009 quicker.

For updates on Katies current health status and my training progress please go to www.run4katie.org  This is the website set up last time I did the Marathon so you can see pictures of how Katie has grown.

For an added giggle, Katie wants me to run the 2009 marathon dressed like either a Disney Princess or a butterfly! Apparently I could find either outfit in my size on ebay so there is no escape! I have lowered my target to £1,400 as this is what I MUST raise for Kidney Research UK and is not quite as daunting at £2,000 but I would still like to reach the higher of the two!
