This year is the last of my 40s! I want to mark my 50th with a new challenge but when I do turn 50 I want to be celebrating, not training and so over the next 12 months I will be running 12 half marathons. Just for the hell of it.

But while I'm running, I want to raise some funds for St Wilfrids Hospice who took such special care of my lovely father-in-law Bob, and of us, his family. I miss him every day. St Wilfrids is a very special place and we will always be grateful that his last weeks were spent being cared for by the wonderful staff.
