Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2014 I began a massive personal challenge of running "52 marathons in 52 weeks".  Any race of 26.2 miles distance or further counts, and so far has included some ultra marathons of 30 and 50 miles, as well as lots of marathons!  As personal commitments mean I cannot race every weekend, I have a few doubles (2 marathons in 2 days), triples and a couple of Quads (4 marathons in 4 days!) to complete along the way.  With 30 races completed already, I am well on target to complete the challenge.

I hope my crazy challenge can be used to raise funds for the Royal Voluntary Service.  On a daily basis I witness the outstanding service they provide at Wokingham Hospital.  RVS volunteers enrich the lives of older people and their families across Britain.  Your support can help them to reach out with practical help to over 100,000 older people every month, with services such as Meals on Wheels, community transport, support for people coming Home from Hospital, lunch clubs and home visits by volunteers.  As a charity RVS receives no government funding, so relies on donations to continue its good work.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
