Thank you for reading. I am going to attempt to run 5K wearing a Santa suit to raise money and awareness for the MND Association, an amazing charity that did so much for my lovely Dad, Harry, and our family before he passed away in 2013 .

Strava tells me I haven’t been running since early September, only managed a mile then and I have added to the challenge by attempting it after a night out, whilst wearing a Santa suit whose trousers have already split  

I know this isn’t a double marathon or bike ride to Paris but it will feel like it to me. I would be extremely grateful if you could donate a few pennies for a fantastic cause. Thank you!
