On October 23rd I will return to the unforgiving 13.1 Miles of Birmingham's Half Marathon.

The money is going to Barnardo's so please prove that you disagree with the abuse and exploitation of children by giving generously, otherwise I'll assume you're fine with it.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
