Dear Friends,

I hate running.  I hate climbing.  I hate stairs and I hate Gherkins.  I even pick them out of my food.

So it is with trepidation that I tell you I am going to be climbing that big old gherkin in london.

I have no idea if I am going to be able to do this.  I have been training and using some rather big machines at the gym.  I have rock solid legs and a lot of new friends who drink protein shakes and wax all their body hair off for competitions. 

PLease sponsor me, if not out of kindness for the children who the NSPCC support but out of pity for for me .

I am pretty confident I have never asked for sponsorship since I was ten and did the 24hour food starvation thing.  I cheated by the way.

Dig deep for the NSPCC please.  They do many a good thing for the children of this country.

Much love
