I am taking part in the London Marathon on 17 April 2011 and would really appreciate any donation, whatever the amount, that you could give towards helping find a cure for this disease that seems to touch everyone one way or another - whether it's someone in your family, a friend or work colleague.

My training has started and although I cannot promise a fast finish time, I can promise I will find it painful so help ease the pain and make it worthwhile!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
