Event: London Marathon 2009
Date of event: 26 April 2009
Hello people If you have come this far, then yes the rumours are true...no not those rumours, but the one concerning me running the London Marathon. Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page. I am raising money for Action Medical Research, a great charity that funds pioneering medical research. I have worked with the charity before when I completed the London to Paris cycle challenge in 2006 and I can say from experience, it is a great charity to work with. In its 50 year history it has been involved with numerous breakthroughs such as ultrasound in pregnancy, the polio vaccine and the hip replacement operation. They fund many research projects each year which will lead to a healthier future for everyone. They are currently campaigning for the UK Government to put more money in to research in to premature birth. Action Medical Research have funded over £2 million of research in this area but more research is required to understand why this remains the biggest killer of under 1’s. With your help we can achieve even more medical breakthroughs. To add more spice to this challenge I am aiming to run the marathon in 3 hours or less. Training has already started and I'm determined to do it. Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will then give me an additional 25% on the money that I have raised. Thanks again Wayne
To date I've raised £1,273.42 total online. In addition to this, the government's Gift Aid Scheme has raised a further £286.85
Please help me reach my target of £2,000.00.

The bulk of the miles have been done. It's simply time to rest and stock up on carbs! Is Wayne nervous? You better believe it!
