Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. People who know me well know that doing this marathon has basically been my goal for about 5 years. For those who don't know me so well and wondering why its taken me that long, its because taken a couple of knee/ankle surgeries and losing about 30kgs and counting to get to a stage where I'm just about fit enough and getting over the fact that I hate running. Now that I can actually manage it we might as well raise a bit of money in the process.

If you are wondering why the BHF, well heart disease has taken its toll on my family and I've lost plenty of people close to me to it at relatively young ages. So getting my heart in better condition as well as raising money for the Foundation seems almost natural.

The Just giving bit: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

I will not be claiming any costs back from the charity.

I realy really hate running, really really hate it. So pls give any amount you can. And if you work in banking, be generous, we could use a better image.

If we hit the 5k target, I will find the most embarrasing picture of myself and stick it up on the page
