Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

Marathon number 4 is planned for 04 November 2012 and its back to the US, this time the big apple for the New York marathon.

 

I was aiming for a new personal best to meet the qualifying time for the Boston marathon, but a torn calf muscle and ruptured baker cyst in the last 2 months of training have put paid to that. Hurricane Sandy also seems to be doing its best to stop the run taking place at all at the moment.

 

As for quite a time I was unsure if I would be able to run at all, I have not made any effort until now to raise any sponsorship, but I know that generous family, friends and work colleagues have been asking, and so as long as the race takes place and I can get there, I will raise some funds for Samaritans at the same time.

 

For those who do not know Samaritans is a UK confidential emotional support service, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, who’s stated vision is that fewer people die by suicide: www.samaritans.org

 

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 thank you for visiting this fundraising page and please do feel free to sponsor me online.

 

Many, many thanks for your support.
