Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Paris marathon to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation who have made many advances in the prevention, detection and treatment of of meningitis and septiceamia. This foundation is still in desparate need of funds to carry on the great work they are doing. See http://www.meningitis.org/about-us.

I am hoping my not so finely tuned (work in progress!) body will carry me round the 26 miles and help me pass the dreaded 'wall' that I have heard so much about. Any donations would help me hugely along the way.

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.
