On the 13th of April, I shall be running the 26.2 mile London Marathon in aid of Whizz-kids - a fantastic charity whose main aim is to give disabled children the chance to lead a more independent life.

The pain and misery which I will be enduring will be worthwhile if the target amount of £1500 can be raised. This money will help provide disabled children with customised mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills but more importantly it will give them their independence.

You can improve the lives of these children by donating any amount of money. Every little helps.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Whizz-Kidz 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.
