Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the New York Marathon on the 1st November 09 for the Firefighters Charity. As most people are aware the charity strives to raise funds in order to help firefighters who have been injured whilst at work. Our jobs are the most rewarding you could possibly imagine but also at times can be very dangerous.

For those of you who are not familiar with the charity it does amazing work by providing both financial and medical support for over 13,500 firefighters affected by injury per year and helps support their families, it costs over 9 million pounds every year to keep the charity running.

I have decided to challenge myself by training alone for this event and as the fundraising target is so high every penny you can possibly donate will count towards making a vital difference to injured firefighters.

I would like to thank you for your generosity and supporting me along the way.. All 26.4 miles of it!!!

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you all so much.
