Support Justin's Marathon Run for the ICZN!

Show your support for the ICZN by sponsoring Justin Warhurst to run a marathon on our behalf!

http://www.justgiving.com/justin-warhurst-itzn

Justin will run his first marathon (at the brave age of 45), and has chosen to raise funds for ICZN.  He works by day as the Business Services Director of Lane 4 Management Group (a performance development consultancy with a unique heritage in elite sport and business performance) and, recently, by night can be found running up and down various cold, dark, wet streets in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.  He is married to Jackie Mackenzie-Dodds, the Molecular Collections Facility Manager at the Natural History Museum. It was at the ICZN  “What’s in a name” fundraising lecture by Sir David Attenborough and Prof. Richard Fortey in December that Justin was inspired by the work of ICZN and decided to run in support of us.

Justin will run The Barcelona Marathon on 6th March.

We aim to raise £2000.  Click here to pledge your part in sending Justin over the finish line... Your support will give him the umph to run the full course, and help the ICZN too!

If you want to run with Justin, let him know and we'll make it a team!
