Having thought about it for a few years I have finally plucked up the courage to enter this years London Marathon on 17th April 2011 and with the help of the NSPCC I was fortunate enough to obtain a place, which will give me an opportunity to raise a meaningful sum of money for this worthy cause.

Please can you help me to raise £2,000 for the NSPCC to help put a stop to child cruelty.  I have committed to raise £2,000 for Childline, the NSPCC's free, confidential, 24 hour helpline for children who are worried or distressed.

With 4 months to go the training has started and I would really appreciate any help you could give to reach my target of £2,000.00.

Thank you.
