Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 17th April 2011 I am running my first (and probably last) London Marathon.  I have decided to run the marathon in aid of The Meningitis Research Foundation and in memory of a little boy called Elliot Donkor Winch. He was the son of my friend Jamie who we lost to this devastating illness in 1999. His memory will live long in the lives of all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. 

The work carried out by the Foundation is ongoing as there are 3,500 reported cases of the disease every year. With 1 in 10 people dying as a result. Please will you therefore consider sponsoring me however much you can afford for what I believe is a worthy cause and in memory of a lovely little boy.
