Hi...Jimbo here. Hope you are well.

My mother in law, Amparo Rourke has recently been diagnosed with Acute Leukaemia. She is currently in the Hammersmith hospital undoing the brutal chemotherapy treatment. Don't tell her, but the bald look actually suits her quite well!  The hospital is fantastic, but the reality remains that treatment of this disease still has much room for improvement. So I thought I'd do my bit and raise some money for Anthony Nolan by running the London marathon. 26 miles of fun around London streets on April 23rd. I have run a marathon before, but that was when I was a youngster, so this time should be interesting!

Hopefully some of you can come and watch, but meanwhile I've set up this page in the hope you can help by sponsoring me. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Anthony Nolan Trust 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.

Many thanks for your support.....hope to see you soon.

Jimbo.
