Hello All,

In a moment of madness and because it seemed like a wonderful way to raise funds while motivating me to get back to running I decided to run the 2008 London Marathon for the Childrens Society.

There are so many charities to pick from and every runner makes a very personal decision when selecting who they want to support. I could have picked any one of the many options, all worthy causes but decided to run for the children of this country.

After all, while many others run to save our world, some of us should make sure that there's some healthy happy children to grow up in it. So that's what I will try to do.

To support my efforts and the many hours I will be spending running through the streets of London in the rain I ask you to help me with donations to raise at minimum £1,500 which will all go to the Children's Society. All my own costs will be covered by me.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Children's Society 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.

Nina
