On Sunday 26th April I was due to run the London marathon. However due to the terrible effects of COVID-19 this has been delayed until October and we can only hope that the world is a safer place for the event to go ahead by then. However in support of the amazing efforts of the NHS frontline workers in responding to COVID-19 I have decided to bring out the Ostrich Grand National again (embarrassing costume visible for all to see), and run this as a solo half marathon, socially distanced at all times across Birmingham on Sunday 26th April in support of NHS Charities Together.

Please support, stay home and stay safe
