I don't exactly love running, but I do love a challenge and that's why I've signed up to raise as much money for Bowel Cancer UK as possible. I lost my darling Dad to cancer ten years ago (wow, that is still hard to write) so please give generously and also tell the people you love that you love them, and often.

Think of me trying to find interesting new routes to run around Hackney that don't involve falling in the canal when an over-enthusiastic cyclist sneaks up behind me; speeding up past a flirty tramp in Stoke Newington cemetery or squishing rats that jump out at me from behind the dustbins!

Then think about reaching into your pocket and donating a pretty penny for a good cause. 

Go on, you know you want to.

Thanks, Maddy x
