I'm running the Birmingham Half Marathon in October in aid of Help2Read which helps children in the developing world learn to read.

I'm only an occasional jogger and the most I have ever run is only a few kilometres and I'm counting on support from you to give me the incentive I need to finish the course.

I'm hoping for support from those who know me as Claire Austin or my married name Claire Newman (or both!). Call me what you wish, but please sponsor me.

Please dig deep and donate now.
