Thanks for taking time to visit my fundraising page.

I'm sad to say that due to a knee injury that can not be repaired in time, I have had to take the difficult decission to pull out of this years marathon. However, I have deferred my place and will be taking part in 2011. Naturally this is a huge blow and is very dissappointing, however I am determind to complete it no matter what!
Due to this extended time i am taking the oppertunity to raise more money for this worthy cause.

Wow, I am delighted but scared to have been given the opportunity to take part in the 2010 London Marathon and raising money for breast cancer, especially having never run more than 2 miles in one go before!
As you may know a very close friend of mine Stephanie Gould passed away on the 12th October this year after being diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2008.
Stephanie had recently taken up running and had set herself the goal of running the London Marathon to raise money for breast cancer research. I would therefore like to take on the challenge on her behalf so I need you all to dig deep and help me raise as much money as I can for such a worthy cause.
I have set a target of two thousand pounds, however it would be fantastic to raise more if possible. I know that every charity is a worthy cause, however as Stephanie meant so much to me and many other people I think that it would be fantastic to raise as much as possible in her memory and to help others in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and any donation you make is received with the greatest of thanks.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Breast Cancer Campaign gets your money faster and, if you’re ataxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Kind regards
