I would like to ask for your help in raising money for Leonard Cheshire Disability, a charity campaigning for change and providing innovative services to give disabled people the opportunity to live life their way.

Leonard Cheshire Disability works for better opportunities for disabled people worldwide in education, work and everyday life. The charity  supports thousands of disabled people both in the UK and in more than 50 other countries. They help people with physical impairments, learning difficulties and long-term health conditions, as well as their carers, friends and families.  The needs and aspirations of disabled people are at the heart of what they do. By providing services and helping everyone to understand disability and combat discrimination, they aim to remove the barriers that can stop people with disabilities from pursuing their goals and living their lives to the full.

They are very special people doing a wonderful job and deserve your support. You can find out more about Leonard Cheshire Disability from their website here.  This video has details of experiences of previous Leonard Cheshire Disability runners.

This is my fifth run for Leonard Cheshire Disability and 15 years since my first run for them (also my 15th marathon).  

If you are interested in sponsoring me and supporting a very good cause, you can either:

Please note that by donating online, you will help save time and money for the charity, not to mention saving me a lot of administration.  Your gift will be transferred directly into the charity's bank account, and if you are a UK taxpayer, a further amount will be automatically added to your donation at no extra cost to you.

2012 will be my 10th London and 15th marathon.
