You may have already heard from me that I am running in  the BUPA Great North Run and it would appear that this is next Sunday!! How did it come round so soon.

I have chosen Mencap as my charity because of my brother John and all the work  that they have done.

I ask you to sponsor me for this ordeal and to give money even if I don't survive!

Just Giving is the the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mencap 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!
