It's the big one. Yes, after years of procrastinating I have agreed to run the London Marathon on behalf of GamesAid and I need your support to do it.

I'm looking to raise £5000 to support the six brilliant children's charities that GamesAid supports. 

Those causes are:

AFK - A charity that supports disabled children and young people by providing mobility equipment, education, training, employment support and promoting self-advocacy.

Autistica- The UK's autism research charity. Supporting research and campaigning for long, happy & healthy lives for autistic people and their allies.

Lifelites - Lifelites donates assistive technology to life-limited and disabled children in every children's hospice across the British Isles.

Solving Kids Cancer - We’re fighting for a future where no child dies of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma or suffers due to its treatment.

The Clock Tower Sanctuary – Supports young homeless people in Brighton and Hove to give them the best chance and opportunity in life.

Winston's Wish – The UK’s Childhood Bereavement Charity, who support children and their families after the death of a parent or sibling.

Want to support me? There are two big ways you can do so.

1) Sponsor my shirt! - I'm looking for games businesses to sponsor my shirt. Every business who sponsors it will get their logo on the jersey, regular shout outs from me and a warm feeling in their heart. Contact me directly if you're interested.

2) Donate, donate, donate! - Additionally, make an individual donation to the cause. Every donation helps support these fantastic charities, so please do give generously if you can.

Thank you so much and wish my haggard body the best of luck in April…
