Hello all - please sponsor me in this last-minute assault on the Bath Half. I got my place a week before the race and with no training am aiming for a time of 1.45.

I am running for People Against Poverty, a Wiltshire-based charity doing great work helping children and families in Romania, Nepal and Haiti. They deliver help on the ground through local partnerships, meet basic needs and empower greater self sufficiency, with a wider aim of giving a sustainable future to those in need internationally.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
