Hi,

Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page.

I am raising money for Action Medical Research, a great children's charity dedicated to improving the health of babies and children in the UK.

As a first-time father of a healthy and happy little boy, I am now even more aware of just how important all of AMR's work is.

For almost 60 years the charity has been behind numerous breakthroughs such as the UK polio vaccine, ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, and more recently the fetal heart rate monitor a new state-of-the-art device that could help save thousands of at-risk babies.

They also pioneered hip replacement surgery, and as the grateful recipient of a couple of new hips myself, I am even more appreciative of what this charity is about. I'm hoping that my own titanium hips will power me all the way to Paris.

Action Medical Research relies entirely on donations to fund a range of research projects that address serious childhood conditions and improve quality of life for children with disabilities.

You will also be supporting the Touching Tiny Lives appeal which is raising funds to help reduce premature birth and improve care of sick and vulnerable babies. Your support will help continue this potentially life-saving work.

Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will contribute an additional 25% on the money that I have raised.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT - IT REALLY IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
