Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 22 April 2012, I will take part in the Virgin London Marathon.

Together with 5 other runners, I am using this as an opportunity to raise funds for a great charity, the Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF).

The LGF works and campaigns for a fair and equal society and to eradicate homphobia.  

There has been much positive change in society in the last two decades but much remains to be done. A tragic reminder of this is the recent and tragic death of Peter Crouch, a 15 year old teenager, who committed suicide after allegedly being subject to homophobic bullying.  Sadly, reports and research indicate that homophobic bullying remains a real issue in schools around the country. 

One of the core activities of the LGF is its involvement in an innovative and successful multi-media, anti-homophobic bullying projects in schools. 

You can read more about its work on the LGF website - www.lgf.org.uk.

By donating through this website you can help the LGF to continue its work. 

I appreciate your time reading this. Your support will help me to climb over that wall when I hit on the 22nd of April.

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. 

Thank you.
