Brighton Marathon and a couple of halfs

I'm running for Noah's Ark Children's Venture at Macaroni Woods as it celebrates its fiftieth birthday.

Please give as much as you can to support this brilliant charity that provides residential stays for children who need it most at a beautiful woodland in the Cotswolds. In this current economic climate, Macaroni Woods gives access to nature to children and young people living with disability or learning difficulties, or coming from deprived areas. It lets them play, learn and thrive in nature - all too often for the first time.

As a trustee of Macaroni Woods, I see how much good it does, and I'm running the London Half, Richmond Half and Brighton Marathon to raise funds for this wonderful place.

The funds will help the charity maintain the facilities at Macaroni Woods and subsidise stays by young people at the woods.
