Hi, I'm Sam Lockwood.

The London Marathon remains massively popular, and massively oversubscribed, so I am extremely grateful to RAPt for granting me one of their valuable places in the event.

Since 1992, RAPt has helped over 5000 prisoners overcome their drug addictions, greatly reducing the chances of them reoffending, and easing their passage back into society. The charity has been lucky enough to have been supported by names such as Sir Anthony Hopkins, Dame Judy Dench and Sir Trevor McDonald, and with your support can continue their great work for years to come.

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

Thanks for coming this far, your support is greatly appreciated and will go some way to easing the pain of the blood, sweat, blisters, cramp and tears on the 13th of April and the months of training in the lead up.

Sam.
