Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Im running the marathon in memory of my mum, she was born with a hole in her heart and needed major surgery which gave her a new lease of life and this is why i have chosen to run for the British heart foundation. Sadly she passed away four weeks before last years marathon. The total i raised last year was £700, however with your help I am hoping to raise £2000 this year.
9/3/08 I have just completed the stafford 20 mile race in 2 hours 31 mins . so im in good form for the marathon in just 5 weeks .
3/4/08 After a week off running with a sprained ankle, I'm back on track with my training and now I'm in all the newspapers , fame at last ? It's also a milestone for me today as the total so far has gone over the £1000 mark . Thanks again for the very generous support .
