Dear sponsors --
I'm running my tenth London Marathon in April, and as usual, I'm making sure it's in aid of a good cause. This year, I'm running for the mental health charity Mind in memory of my friend Andrew Soares, who tragically died in October. To read more about Mind's work, see: http://www.mind.org.uk/

All donations are welcome, big or small, and if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. That means every pound you donate translates to £1.28 for Mind. On top of that, my employer, Bloomberg, will match donations, so including the Gift Aid, every pound you donate will result in £2.28 going to charity. So as you see, every little bit counts.

This is the JustGiving boilerplate: 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.
