Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for my favourite homeless charity Crisis. Many of you know that I work as an Skills for Life Teacher at Crisis so I'll make sure the money will be getting used well. 

I think it is utterly ridiculous that in our relatively affluent society homelessness still exists. People become homeless for many reasons and I urge you to watch the film, Cathy Come Home, for more information. http://www.youtube.com/embed/I8fVnXXMw60

I hate running so logically I am doing the London Marathon! This was inspired after going to Crisis' Walk To End Homelessness and the power of using your own two feet to do something amazing. 

In June I am doing a 100k night cycle ride for Crisis also. 100k overnight is difficult however I am going to make it much harder! I work on Sat June the 9th, the race begins Saturday at midnight. I will ride all night and then on Sunday the 10th I have to work at 10am. So that's the reall challenge of the Nightrider for me http://www.nightrider.org.uk/

When you kind people donate for me, you'll be sponsoring both events. If you sponsor me, I will be very grateful and so will the people who receive your kind donations. 

You can see how I'm progressing with my training at. http://runkeeper.com/user/317757782/profile

By the way, I am doing both events on a 100% Vegan diet. 

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.
