Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

To see me through my 3 month notice period, I figured I should set myself a challenging goal -- and what better goal than one which also helps people less fortunate than myself.

I am distinctly privileged to have been given the opportunity to run for UNICEF in the Royal Parks Half Marathon. This is one of the most spectacular half marathons in London with the route trailing through Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park, St James Park and past the London Eye.

I do hope that you will be kind enough to help me raise funds for this great cause and please feel free to come and cheer me on (I'll need it!).

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shine: Support And Help In Education gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Please sponsor me now and make all the blisters, risk of toenail loss and other unspeakable pain worthwhile! Thank you.
