In 2013 we started a little running team called Born Ready Runners, at the start we were just a few good friends who wanted to raise £1,000 for a very special charity (NCCA UK) helping children with a rare cancer called Neuroblastoma. What we achieved was nothing short of astonishing. A small group of friends became a bigger group of very special friends and supporters, resulting in over £12,000 being raised for this very worthy cause.

I don't want it to end there. I started Born Ready Runners (and since then Born Ready Fitness) because I want to bring people around me together as a community with common goals, because I want to show that with a little bit of determination and passion amazing things can be achieved, because I want to make a difference in what can be a very cruel and selfish world at times!

I don't just want to look back in a few years time and go 'hey, remember when we had that little running team and raised some money for charity'. I want to do more, I want to do it bigger and better, and I want to support those in need on OUR doorstep, in OUR local community. 

So to do this, for 2015, I've chosen to support a superb local charity. I've got some pretty special friends who give up a lot of their time for it , I'm sure you know some of them to! 

Charity for Kids aim is to to help local children who are Sick, Disabled or Terminally ill. Since 2011 they've already helped many local children and their families with various items ranging from simple gadgets to help with everyday tasks, through to bespoke wheelchairs and full-on construction work. 

I think they deserve all the help and support they can get, so I hope you too will support me with my crazy campaign.

The idea is this, it's very ambitious but its also very simple. 

I see a lot of you out there with your Nike+, MapMyRun, Garmin Apps and so on, pounding the pavements and putting in the miles. On top of this too many running and OCR events to count. Lets make them count for something more!

I want YOU to become a BORN READY RUNNER and DONATE your MILES and your MONEY to my campaign, between us all the goal is to run 10,000 miles (half way across the world) and raise £10,000 for this brilliant charity that's right on our doorstep.

Between me and the core running team, we'll do as many events as we can and put in the miles, but it wont be enough, we need your miles (and money) too! I'm starting with training and taking part in London Marathon (with a good few events between now and then)

All you need to do to take part is a) donate b) tag me in your running app posts or event photo's or inbox me so I can track your miles c) get everyone you know to support us too.
