Hi All

A select few people will know but most will have no idea who i am or
that I intend to run the London marathon on April the 13th.

It has taken me two years and one aborted attempt (due to injury) to
make it this close to the start line.

There just over a week to go before my date with the tarmac and
potholes of the roads of London.

I am doing this in memory of my late Granddad who supported NCH for
many years in his own unique way. I am not him, never will be, but I
can continue to fundraise for them in my own way. This is the first
(and hopefully not the last) of my fundraising events. I have put in
the hours and now just the easy business of sightseeing round central
London, on foot!

Please dig deep and sponsor me (online), be it because you are
thinking `rather him than me', or because you want to see me in lots
and lots or pain, or just because it is close to the end of the tax
year and you need to fiddle the books.

To steal a famous supermarket line `every little helps' so no matter
how big or small your donation I thank you.

Enough of these words, I am told fitness is good for you!

However, if you ask my work colleagues I am not sure that they believe
this be true. The number of times I have come into the office with one
injury or another.

I invite you to visit my fundraising page
www.justgiving.com/davidjjreed and donate if you can.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is
also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NCH, the children's charity
will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra
28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! Do not put it off, act on impulse. You will
feel better for it.
Moreover, come support me if you are in London that weekend!

Many thanks for your support.

Regards,
David Reed
