On the 10th October I will be running a half marathon. Some of you may be unable to believe this. I keep having to pinch myself. The only marathon I used to be capable of was a Buffy The Vampire Slayer marathon...

This is a particular challenge for me because instead of training, as planned, over the last 6 weeks I have been largely lying down as I've been ill with a virus and having various other health problems that meant I was having blood taken and moaning, not running.

I am now back on my feet, running again, and have decided that I will run the half marathon. Or part run and part walk it. Or crawl sections. I won't make a good time, but I'll do it.

Because the work that Right to Play do all over the world is important, frankly. I hope you can support me, and them.
