Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm taking part in the Brighton Marathon on 18th April 2010 and currently in training and aiming for a quick time. Having recently done a couple of half marathons it felt right to go for the full one. My immediate thought is: if Eddie Izzard can do 43 marathons in 51 days then doing just one in a day should be easy, right? But in all honesty I am taking this very seriously (as you can probably see from my profile pic).

Unlike the half marathons I am doing this for a charity. If you give a donation (I would be immensely grateful for any amount - big or small) you will be supporting Scope and their work with children and adults with cerebral palsy.They've given me a target of £300, but it would be great to go over. 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.

Many thanks

Ben
