My colleague Guy Opperman has challenged me to complete a personal fitness challenge this month, to raise money for a great local charity, to increase my fitness and to do something productive to get to the end of lockdown.

Having managed to get from couch to 5k since the start of the year, I decided to try something much harder and aim to run 10km.  Guy gave me the incentive to do just that!  So I am not just doing it once, but doing it 10 times (at least).

Last year my amazing friend and constituent Rachel Cardy walked over 1000 miles in lockdown, as part of Staying Strong, and she raised £1400  for Jane Scarth House.  So literally following in her footsteps, I am doing this for Jane Scarth House, although I am only running 100km in total, not 1000 miles!
