Hello again.

This time it's a couple of firsts. I'm doing the first Brighton marathon on Sunday 18 April and then I'm doing my first Scottish marathon, with Scottish people and kilts and everything, on Sunday 23 May. I may do some more before the year is out but this is enough for starters.

I'm again raising money for Jospice, a lovely hospice north of Liverpool. They need all the money they can get and will use it wisely so please donate whatever you can.

Here's the official bit – donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Phew! Please give whatever you can. Thanks in advance.
