Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been talked into trying my hand at the Sony Ericson Run to the Beat event held in London on Sept 26th http://www.runtothebeat.co.uk/ 

It is a run over half marathon distance starting and finishing at the O2, So I thought it has been a while since I did anything for charity, I think it was 2004, 3 peaks, So I am asking you to dig deep and give me a good incentive to get round. My chosen charity is Bliss again, as this is very close to me.

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.

How the money will help Bliss
• £1 will provide text messaging support for a distressed parent
• £10 will provide telephone support for a family
• £24 will keep our parent support helpline working for one hour
• £25 will buy a complete set of information booklets for a family
