Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm dedicating this Edinburgh Marathon to the great work of Self-Help Africa. As an "ME Survivor" I cherish my athletic efforts but also want to make them count as a way of giving back something of what I have been blessed with. This wee charity helps many folk out of absolute poverty with the simplest of means. Just look at their website for inspiration. Help me raise some dough for them and I'll try for a personal best in the race!

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. Look out for news of the Marathon on Sunday 22nd May!
