On October 11th this year, I will be running the Budapest Marathon! It will be my first marathon and I’m looking forward to the challenge. I'll have had 9 months to transform myself from a physics potato to a fitness fan capable of running 26.2 miles (42.2 km).

Until then it won’t be all training and rice. By the time I am stood on the starting line along with the 19 others in Team Warwick, each of us aim to have raised at least £1,100 for The Children's Society (http://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/what-we-do/helping-children). This gives us a team target of at least £22,000 to reach. 

If you only give a few pounds to charity this month, please give to The Children's Society. They work around the country to combat child poverty. All donations will go directly to The Children's Society, it’s a great charity for a cracking cause; check out the link above for more information. Anything you can give is fantastic, I’ll need all the help I can get to reach my £1,100 goal. 

Thank you for your support and any donations!
