Thank you for visiting my page. I have decided to run the Bristol Half Marathon 2010 on behalf of Sparks, the children's medical research charity. I am quite new to running so I think the 13 and a bit miles will be pretty painful to say the least! - I would be so grateful for any contribution you can make.

Every day 70 babies are born in the UK with a life-threatening condition or an illness that will affect them and their families for life.  Sparks is an amazing charity that strives to reduce this statistic by funding pioneering research accross the whole spectrum of paediatric medicine. The main objective is simple; to provide every baby and child with the chance of a healthy and active life.

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.

Thank you for your support, wish me luck!
