Hi everyone,

As some of you know, I'm attempting to run 10 miles on October 24 in the Great South Run, raising funds for Salisbury District Hospital's Stars Appeal. This aims to raise enough money to build a new children's unit at SDH which, trust me, is much needed. Imogen has spent a bit of time in and out of SDH over the past two-and-a-half years and the doctors and nurses are just fantastic, so this is my way of trying to give a bit back to them.

Running isn't something that comes naturally to me, nor is it something I can say is growing on me! 10 miles is going to be hard work and I just hope all the cod liver oil and glucosamine tablets prove beneficial!

Anyhow, now for the important bit ...
