Now you've managed to stop the uncontrollable laughter having seen my picture.....thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I have decided to run the first Brighton Marathon in 2010 to support St Wilfrid's Hospice, Eastbourne. This is a local charity who care for people and their families as they near the end of life and is run by a team of dedicated, high quality staff and volunteers who are committed to doing all they can to support people at this difficult stage in their life. Only 15% of the charity's funding comes from the NHS and so it is reliant on the generosity of the community it serves.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support.
