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: Cardiac Risk in the Young 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.

I am currently training for the marathon with 12 other people for a documentary series that will be screen on the BBC in 2006.  With the help of olympic athletes we are all over coming personal trauma, getting fitter and for some of us, myself included, doing some much needed weight lose for our own health.

I am supporting this charity as in June 2004 my fiance died suddenly in her sleep at the age of 32. She had 3 young children and it was a very hard time for all of us.

The doctors could not give us any reason for her death and even after tests no cause of death could be found. Her heart and lungs failed for no reason and totally unexpectedly. CRY is a fantastic charity trying to raise awareness of deaths like this and hopefully families that go through this kind of trauma like I did can have some comfort and support with the help of this wonderful charity. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. All dontations are greatly received and will help towards the total no matter how big or small. Thanks very much for you support.

After 8 weeks of the training programme I have managed to lose 2 stone and 2 pounds.  At the training weekend where filming was taking place for the TV show I completed my first 5 mile run.  When we first started the training in November 2005 I could not even run half a mile, now 8 weeks later I am doing 5 miles!!!
