Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

By running the Beachy Head Marathon I am aiming to raise £1000 for the Intensive Care Ward at the Eastbourne District and General Hospital, to which my family and I owe a huge amount of personal gratitude.

 'If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. Run the first part with your head, the middle part with your personality, and the last part with your heart."

Anyone who has ever visited an Intensive Care ward knows only too well the fine line between hope and despair, between life and death. The smallest thing can tip the balance. In the same way, your smallest donation could make all the difference.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. You really will make a difference to the patients and their families on this ward.
