Hi there, thanks for visiting my site.

I'm going to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October so have begun training for it now. I'll be keeping a diary of my progression at Blogspot so you can see just how much sweat is involved in getting this hundred-plus kilogram giant up and running!

I'm hoping to raise lots of money for The Stroke Association which is a charity close to heart as my mum has suffered several stokes in the last 12 months.

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.
