Virgin London Marathon 2013 · 21 April 2013 ·

Our vision is for a world in which every mitochondrial disease patient has a voice and access to treatment, support to improve their life and, ultimately, a cure.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am about to run my 5th London Marathon. At 53 more and more bits are dropping off, seizing up and going rusty. But I am driven to run in memory of my baby niece and because so much progress is being made by The Lily Foundation.

But we need more help and more of your money for vital research and to care for stricken families. One in 200 babies could carry  faulty mitochondria. The results can be devestating.

Please help a creaky, cranky Football commentator waddle around London.

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.
