Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I fully appreciate that the majority of you will get inundated with people asking for sponsorship. However, having started my training I can now fully appreciate that running a marathon is a huge commitment, taking up a large proportion of one's time, and energy. Thus, I would be hugely appreciative of any donations, given that it will benefit a really great cause, and assist in making me get out and train as hard as possible. I have set some high standards of myself, and hope to run 26.2 miles in a very competitive time, whilst raising money for charity. I'll let you know in due course if I reach my goals....

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Sense - National Deafblind and Rubella Association gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now! Any donations will be greatly received, and will inspire me to get out in the cold and train as hard as possible!
