This page is no longer active - BUT I have a new one if you'd like another way to part with your £££... I am running the London Marathon on Sunday 25 April & I would be so grateful for any support.

05/06: Hooray! I did it. And I didn't finish last!

Embarrassingly, tho, I got overtaken by at least one septuagenarian, a woman in heels, and by a girl who walked aided by a stick, but it was a perfect summer's evening in the world's best city and they gave you a banana when you crossed the finishing line - bonus!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO SPONSORED ME!!

Donations are accepted until 31 JULY 2009, so still time to pledge some £££ if you feel that way inclined....

******************

I was worried I might actually have to train for this and learn the art of fun-running, but luckily I've sustained a grievous injury to my left foot and will therefore have to walk/hobble.

The min amount I have been asked to raise is £100 - and I'll be REALLY embarrassed if I can't manage to do that, so any donations gratefully received.

NB: Crisis does brilliant work & I've enjoyed being a Crisis Christmas volunteer for 2 years - you can also support them by going to one of their "hidden gigs" dotted around London this summer (http://www.crisis.org.uk/hidden/), which have featured the likes of Hot Chip and Dave Gilmour so far.

I thank you.

What £100 means to Crisis

• £100 could pay for a day's training in the Crisis Skylight Cafe, equipping someone with the skills to get a full time job
• £100 could keep 20 homeless people healthy by covering the costs of their prescriptions at the Crisis Christmas medical centre
• £100 will pay for four hours of tuition for an entire class using the Skylight centre.
• £100 would pay for a homeless person to sit their Maths and English GCSEs
• £100 could buy a Crisis member some smart clothes for an interview to help them get back into work
• £100 could pay for Christmas dinner for 33 guests at one of the Crisis Christmas centres.
