I'm joining #TeamSueRyder at Run Cheltenham this year. This is to raise funds for the Leckhampton branch, a local charity which many people have experienced the benefits of this great charity, but as ever, funding remains tough.

It's been a while since I raised monies for running half marathons, but this one is different. I've been training hard, probably the hardest I ever have done for the last six months, all in pursuit of getting my time below the 1 hour 25 min barrier. (You might be able to spot the worst bit of the training in the pic!)

So, in short, it might seem like "just another half", the reality is, this is probably my most challenging one to date, so please give anything you can.

The first £250 raised will get matched by my great employer, Barnett Waddingham, so throw in £10, and Sue Ryder will get £20.
