Esteemed family, friends and colleagues, as some of you may know, Bill and I will be running the Marathon du Medoc this September.

This feat of superhuman endurance will only be made bearable by the copious amounts of wine we will be offered en route and the knowledge that in running we can also raise money for charity…

We’ve chosen to support The National Brain Appeal (and not just because my sister Marcelle is a fundraiser for the charity) – they fund incredible projects at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

We’re aiming to raise at least £500 (or lots more if possible) for our efforts and would be grateful for any amount you felt able to sponsor us.

Please donate whatever you can afford. Thank you.
