As many of you know at the end of last year I had to change my way of living for personnel reason's , part of this change saw me taking up running ( if your not on Facebook you don't know what you have been missing ) , I go to parkrun when I can and have just completed my first race with another one booked in for next month , but in September I will be competing in the Ipswich half marathon , something a year ago if you had asked me to do I would of laughed at you .

At first I was going to do this for me , away of proving to myself that if you really put your heart into something you can do it , but life isn't always as straight forward as that and sometimes you get dealt a crap hand , well we got dealt that crap hand a few months back .

I am now running this race not only for me but more importantly a member of my family ( i'm not going to go into details about who , when, why as this will become evident over the next few month's ) .

So i'm doing the hard part it's now down to you to do the easy bit and stick your hand in your pocket

I don't care if it's 50p or £50 as they say , every little helps
