Story

Believe it or not, I have been (attempting to) train for the Cardiff Half Marathon for the past few weeks...

Its a hard decision to go for a run in the rain and dark instead of a packet of Cool Original Doritos infront of the tele.. But I signed up. I'm training. And I'm going to complete it. Fingers crossed. Now I just need a little help from my friends.

I'm running in less than 2 weeks and with no target time I'm just crossing my fingers that I won't collapse or coinsidently get a 'sprained ankle' under 13.5 miles and I'll succeed in crawling over the finish line.

I'm running for a fantastic charity, Action For Children. They help, support and most importantly speak out for some of the most vulnerable and neglected children in the UK. We all certainly take for granted our upbringing and opportunities that ourselves and our friends have had. Action For Children gives those not so lucky kids a chance to create something of themselves and reach for the opportunities that sometimes aren't given on a plate. A great idea thats very close to my heart.

I've got a high target and with only 2 weeks to go I need all the help I can get. I know it's said on all of these but even £2 from each will make a HUGE difference. It takes only a minute and it really will help so much.

Take a minute from that hectic job, or lazy day and please dig deep and donate now.

Wish me LUCK!!
