Anyone who's ever seen me in action on the sports field, or witnessed, my pale flacid torso on the beach will find the idea of me running pretty funny. The idea of me attempting a half marathon will probably make some people collapse in uncontrollable mirth.

 

But run it I shall... and hopefully as a byproduct of all this amusement, we can also raise some money for a truly great charity: Childline.

 

Sophie (aka the missus) volunteers there every week and has told me how funding constraints are affecting the organisation, already forcing it to cut staff and threatening much needed initiatives.

 

So please give generously, in the knowledge you will have a direct positive impact on people's lives. 

 

Thank you!
