Dear all, I finished yesterday's 'run' and despite a 20 minute intervention from St. John's chubbiest- sorry finest- I finished in 4 hours.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking part in the Nottingham Half Marathon on 30 September and also Liverpool Marathon 2012 on 14 October to raise money for Nottingham Mencap. These two events represent the culmination of a very personal challenge which started earlier this year and I would really appreciate your support.

 

I live very close to one of the Nottingham Mencap facilities and have witnessed firsthand tremendous joy they give those they help through their amazing work with people with learning disabilities and their careers. Although they are affiliated to the Royal Mencap society, they are independently funded and desperately need support and fundraising in order to continue the good work they do.

 

As I said this is a cause that has become very important to me, so please donate as much as you can to this incredibly worthwhile cause.

 

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.

Also, please feel free to visit the Nottingham Mencap site to get a idea of the extraordinary work they do. http://www.nottinghammencap.org.uk/

 

Thank you.

PS any suggestions for running tracks would be greatly appreciated- my current playlist is only 2½ hours and I have a feeling the marathon may take a little longer than that….
