Sticking to my word as delivered live on BBC television last year, I am joining Pip and Tom for this year's Great North Run.

Huntingdon's Disease Association will be the recipients of all your kind donations. I wish to raise awareness of this still incurable disease. Please visit http://www.hda.org.uk/hda/fact-sheets.php to find out what it's all about.

Please give what you can for a cause that's close to my heart.
