I would like to share with you that I will be running the Berlin Marathon (42 km/ 26 miles) on 25th September 2011 to raise money for the Martha Trust charity. I would like to invite you to help me support this great cause by donating online (Donating through JustGiving™ is simple, fast and totally secure).

The funds raised will contribute to the purchase of specialist physiotherapy equipment for profoundly disabled individuals, which allows passive limb exercises to be undertaken. This is greatly needed. More information on this, and the charity 'Martha Trust', is available on the donations website listed above.

Martha Trust cares for people with profound physical and multiple learning disabilities in three homes in the South East of England. By providing a safe, stimulating, and above all, happy home environment for its residents, Martha helps them live as full a life as possible. I have personal experience of the Trust's care as my eldest brother has severe learning disabilities and is a wheelchair user.

Thank you very much for your support!

It means a lot to me and Martha Trust.
