Story

A while ago, believe it or not,  My physique had literally gone to pot.

To become fit became my aim,  So running did become my game.

On mornings cold, through rain and snow, I ran and ran, the wind did blow.

Even a knee op didn’t make me stop, Though for a while I had to hop!

I’m better now so here I go,  For 26 miles approx. or so.

I’ll run through London with others like me,  Raising funds for charity.

Naomi House is my chosen cause, Go on, dig deep in those pockets of yours.

Every pound, a difference will make, So contribute please, for the childrens’ sake.

It’s easy to give, your options are many, Go online and give a penny

Click the link and grab your card,  So do it now, it’s not that hard.
