As the delightful photos clearly show, celebrating a cup final win the night before a five mile fun run is probably not the best preparation ..... I'm now training hard for the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for the St Mark's Foundation. The Foundation is based at Northwick Park Hospital and funds vital research, education and training to eliminate bowel disease.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
