Hello all,

So the second attempt at the Great North Run is nigh, and with a hefty 13.1 miles looming, I'm hoping you charitable folk are willing to dig deep and throw a few coppers my way in aid of Heart Research UK.

Heart Research UK is a charity for which my Dad has put in many years of graft, and towards which I am now also hoping to contribute (and perhaps call upon, depending on how things go on the day).

Donations will of course be very gratefully received/agonisingly earnt, so anything you can pitch in this direction really will help.

Thanks for looking and please hit donate!

For those interested...

Donating through justgiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with justgiving - they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure gift aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a uk taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
