Flora London Marathon 2009 · 26 April 2009 ·

When disaster strikes, Merlin's medical experts are there, doing whatever it takes to save lives. And when the cameras have moved on, we stay. Taking communities from emergency to recovery, we work together to revive health services in some of the world's toughest places.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Why climb a mountain when you can run a marathon?! Some of us never learn!

With a little help from a little friend (and some bigger ones ... thanks Andrea and Mike) I made it across the finishing line at the Great North Run earlier this year. Hobbling onto the Metro, I couldn't imagine then having to run back to Newcastle ..... and I still can't! Running the London marathon is going to take motivation (Merlin's work around the world gives me that) and support (thats where you come in!) to keep me running through the winter and towards the finishing line on April 26th.

Please, if you feel able, help me and Merlin get there.

Thank you very very much.

(Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Merlin (Medical Emergency Relief International) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.)
