Just a few days to go now folks! I'm getting nervous but also excited now! Thanks again I really appreciate your generosity.

As you may already know I'm taking part in the Virgin London Marathon 2010 in April to raise £2,500 (or more if possible!) for Coram and I'd really appreciate your support.  In fair warning I’m going to be pestering as many of you as I can to give as much as possible so donate now to shut me up!  Also, Chaucer (my employer) have kindly offered to sponsor me a fair chunk too which is a massive help.

Some Info on Coram

In case you want to know, Coram has been working with disadvantaged children since the 1730’s when they established a hospital to care for abandoned babies dying on the streets of .

Over 250 years later, the streets of are still as dangerous for many children, all too many of whom are growing up without the support of a loving home. Coram transforms the lives of children and young people, helping them to find stability and lead rich independent lives by providing practical help and support.

If any of you have a particular wish to see me run over 26 miles and make a fool of myself (yes, more so than usual!) then I’ll happily dress up for the run in a ridiculous costume if the fee donated is sufficient!  So get thinking.

Apart from that I just want to say thanks in advance!

P.S. JustGiving sends your donation straight to Coram and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.

Thanks
