Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. TB Alert do great work raising awareness of TB and supporting those affected around the world; we need your money to help support the charity's many programmes.

TB Alert gets only one slot every 5 years in the London marathon, so I volunteered to have a go at filling the place and using the opportunity to raise some much needed cash. Many of us have been to places where there's limited health care and know that by giving a little can change a lot for other people's lives. So please dig deep, spend some spare cash and help in the charity's efforts.

I've run 5-10k's regularly for a few years and figured I was up for a marathon before breaking 40... The insanity of that decision is only beginning to hit home. I started training with 15 weeks to go - and am picking up the mileage week by week. I've now run a half marathon (photo attached - number was luck of the draw - no reflection on my finishing position!)... and experienced hitting the "wall" on an 18 mile training run (the half bottle of wine and 2 beers the night before may not have assisted my glycogen supply...). Nutritional advice may be warranted.  

Please dig deep and sponsor me here, online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: TB Alert will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.

ps due to generosity to date, fundraising target's been increased again...!
