Hi, thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm running the London Marathon for the Stroke Association in memory of my Dad, Viv, and my mother-in-law, Lorraine, who both suffered and died from strokes.

150,000 people, from infants to the elderly, have a stroke every year, and the disease is the single biggest cause of severe disability in this country. Any amount at all that you can spare as a donation will be hugely appreciated, as the association relies almost entirely on public generosity.

So thanks a million to all of you who part with your hard-earned cash to help me meet my target. You can win a free bottle of booze if you spot me on the day but to make it more dfficult I will stay out of the leading group!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Stroke Association 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.

Steve
