My first ever marathon, I'm running in aid of the fantastic cause that is Barnardo's Scotland and I'm aiming to raise £500.00. I know money's tight for everyone but please give whatever you can and in return I'll give it everything on race day.

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.
