Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

It is a while ago since I last did a sponsored run-' 88 I think running the London Marathon for Oxam- here I am doing it again with a swish new sponsor form and older legs to carry me round. I hope you will be able to sponsor me in running the Bath Half Marathon.  My charity is the Breathing Space programme at the London Buddhist Centre (LBC), helping those with depression and anxiety.

 "Crippling depression and chronic anxiety are the biggest causes of misery in today... one family in three is affected... Only one in four of those who suffer from depression or chronic anxiety is receiving any kind of treatment."  'The Depression Report -  A New Deal for Depression and Anxiety Disorders', London School of Economics 2006.

Breathing Space at the LBC was initiated in 2004 by the LBC's Chairman, who is a Consultant Psychiatrist.  The programme uses Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which is recommended in the National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines, to help prevent relapse into depression.  Your donation to Breathing Space will help us to expand our work in this area and make a larger contribution to alleviating 's "biggest so ci al problem".

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: London Buddhist Centre will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
