Thanks to everyone's generosity, I've reached my original target, and so have raised it to a mighty £1,000! Please do support me and I promise not to raise it again! Training is going quite well, although still a little scared...

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. Most of you will know I've had a well dodgy knee for the best part of eight years, but that I've been working hard to get fit over the past year.

I've finally started running again, and have been putting my running shoes where my fundraising mouth is, as part of the Blackwell's team running to Land's End from John O'Groats for the National Literacy Trust. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The National Literacy 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. You also get to write a silly message if you want. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support for the National Literacy Trust.
