Hello! Much against my better judgement I'm running the 2023 London Marathon in... just over two months (April the 23rd, to be exact). I've got a fairly decent base level of fitness (10km-ish a week), but I also love the pub, so the next two months are going to be relatively horrible as I resist the urge to go for a quick one after work, or to watch Liverpool in The Crown, or to spend an entire Saturday pushing myself to the outer limits of reason and sobriety in some arse-end of London.

I'm raising money for BlindAid, a fantastic London-based charity helping blind and visually-impaired people, aiming to improve quality of life and promote independence. Their Sight Support Service provides vital outreach support for 1300 people a year. It's a great cause, and one I'm sure you'll agree is worth putting in at least the price of a pint for. I'm trying to get £1500 - a very doable target in the time I've got. See you at the Berwick Street Blue Posts afterwards. Let's gooooo.
