Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have finally been accepted to run The London Marathon 2009 and have chosen to support The Fircroft Trust.  My wife, Sam, has been involved with them for a number of years and they do fantastic work, on a limited budget, for adults with learning difficulties and/or mental health problems.  I know they need and use every penny so I hope I can count on your support. (see www.thefircrofttrust.org).

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Fircroft Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

UPDATE SUNDAY 26 APRIL

Well, I did it!  Not as well as I wanted - 5 hours 18 mins.  It was too hot and I didn't hydrate properly in the heat - used water only instead of Lucozade, which was a mistake!  But I was determined to finish and I did.  I said I wouldn't do it again.  But since arriving home I think I will, as I want to get the time I trained for (an hour less!) - so watch this space!!

Many thanks for all your fantastic support - it really drove me on.
