I'm endeavouring to run the Paris Marathon on April 7th and the London Marathon, two weeks later, on April 21st.  My big marathon conundrum, other than whether I'll finish, is whether I'll complete Paris or London the quickest and this is where I'd potentially like to give something back to anyone who visits this page and is kind enough to make a suggested donation of £10.  Simply enter the name of the city where you think I'm going to run the fastest marathon (PARIS or LONDON) before the 21st April 2013 (first word in the comment box in block capitals, please) and you will automatically enter a free draw.  One name will randomly be drawn from the pool of correct donors and win the equivalent of 5% of the total funds raised on this page for the winning city (*capped at £250!) If you don't want the prize the amount you have won can either be paid to this charity or another charity, in your name.  

I'd like to think that my marathon challenge may someday motivate someone else to do something for a charity that offers comfort and support to ordinary folk, like you and I, and their family and friends in their darkest hours.   

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.
