Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. For more than 12 years now I've been attempting to raise funds for charity and I am most grateful for your generosity and support, and kind words and good wishes.

If you are not able to donate on this occasion, please do keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue to train, then do the Great North Run on 13 September 2015 [my 13th consecutive GNR] followed by the Yorkshire Marathon [also, my 13th marathon, all being well] in York on 11 October 2015 ... a total of 39.3 miles.

This year, Christian Aid, is my chosen charity as it celebrates its 70th year and continues to partner and empower marginalised communities, raise critical issues both nationally and internationally on poverty,  trade justice, the environment, refugees, etc.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
