Hi Folks,

Most of you will remember how this works from when I did the London Marathon last year.

This time I'm doing the Run to the Beat Half Marathon, and event that "sounds" like it should be quite a bit of fun. Check it out here: http://www.runtothebeat.co.uk/event

Thankfully no massive target to hit like last year, with only a minimum of £300, but I'd like to hit £500 as it'll feel like a better contribution. And the more raised, the more chance to free the likes of the bears in those cages (pictured) who are "farmed" for their bile...

Any amount will be welcome!! So thanks for helping out if you can!
