Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After five years of applying for the London Marathon in the ballot, I gained a place to run the 2013 race on the 21st April. I am primarily running this event for the personal challenge of completing a tough and famous event. At the same time, I would also like to benefit a worthwhile charity. I haven't gained entry to the Marathon through a charity place - thus I can choose my favourite cause, I am not tied to a target and don't want to pressurise my friends into feeling obliged that they have to donate.

I have chosen Macmillan as I don't know of any family who has not been affected by cancer and have heard how important their support can be. Any donations would be much appreciated. I am part of the Macmillan London Marathon team: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/macmillanlondonmarathon2013.

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.
