I thought I'd train and run the Bollington 10K just to get back into shape but then it was suggested I raise money for charity whilst I'm at it.

As my wife, Katie, has had arthritis from the neck down since being 6 months old I thought the charity of choice was obvious, Arthritis Research.

Two years ago I stopped playing football meaning since then the most exercise I've done is walking a mile making this an interesting challenge that I am determined to beat.

Any money donated will be greatly appreciated, no matter the value.
