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.

I am running on behalf of Zurich Community Trust which represents a range of national charities in the UK. The nice thing is that any contribution made by you is matched by the company so your donation is worth double to the charity.

It would be wonderful if you could make a small donation. I have never asked before and am unlikely to ask again in the near future - believe me, having trained for this marathon for several months, latterly in , where the heat can be stifling, I’m not about to put myself through this torture again in a hurry!

I’ve lost a stone in weight in and I’ll have a lot more fun putting it back on than I did taking it off.

Thanks

Philip
