Hi there!

Thanks for visiting my 2009 London Marathon fundraising page.

I made it round in 4 hours and 7 minutes in the end; slower than I'd hoped, but not bad considering how hot it was.

There's still plenty of time to sponsor me - let's try and get the total into the £600s. I wanted to choose a charity where the money donated would have a high impact - the Esther Benjamins Trust is one of those.

85% of the money they receive goes directly on helping the children they rescue, and their actions are pretty targeted, so anything we raise will have a big effect.

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!
