A long, looong time ago I was a 'runner'. Those were the glory days---the days of high school cross country & track (see above for historic example). Those days are far behind me. Or so I thought.

True, it's been about six years since I've run anything of significance (13.1 miles is giving me pause); but with your help and Icy-Hot, I believe I can run this half marathon and preserve my dignity at the same time.

Best of all, I can raise money for a great cause. I'm running in support of Autistica, a charity that supports research to benefit those who suffer from autism.

And here's why using this website to donate is a good idea:

"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. It’s the most efficient way to donate, and saves time and cuts costs for the charity."

Thanks for your support!
