UPDATE 26 April
I came, I ran, I conquered!!!

I have done it, I ran London and I finished in a respectable time of 3:40:53. It was hard, I was aching all over but I reached the finished line. Thank you for everyone who has sponsored me already and if you haven't it's not too late, just click on Sponsor me now and donate as much as you can afford.

********************

Ty Hafan's mission is to improve the quality of life of children with life threatening disorders and their families in Wales by providing a high standard of respite and palliative care. Importantly, this is engendered in a caring, therapeutic and family atmosphere without cost to the families involved.

As you can see from their very high, annual, running costs, Ty Hafan needs all the money it can get. Most of this money is from donations from companies and individuals taking part in sponsored events, such as myself running London Marathon. Without these kind donations the Hospice would struggle to remain open and continue providing high quality care for the children.

So, please dig deep and help me raise the money to enable Ty Hafan to continue helping the children. Every penny does help.

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

By the way, have a log at my blog page where I will be keeping record of how my training and fundraising is going on a weekly basis.
