Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

I was born with club feet. By the time I was seven I had been operated on five times by amazing surgeons. After years of physiotherapy I am now able to walk and run normally. I am very lucky. Others are not so lucky.

My grandfather, David Pine, who passed away in 2008, helped run a Phab night in Plymouth for many years. My sister and I would go along with him, and meet some of the wonderful people who would come together for a rare chance to socialise, and enjoy time spent in a fun environment.

So this marathon is quite special for me: not only is it a chance to prove to myself that I am a capable of running an endurance event despite my own physical limitations, it is also a chance to give something back to a wonderful organisation in the name of my grandfather.

So please dig deep and donate now.
