Why will I be doing the Great South Run in October? First of all I wanted to get fit and I knew that having a goal would make it easier for me to stay motivated. Then I thought that if I was going to do it then why not raise money for a worthy charity?

For those of you who have known me for a while you will know that I am a Southampton Fan and in my following of the club I have read several articles about the Saints Foundation and the good work they do in the local community. I'm always banging onto Katie about how it is important to be part of the community and contribute where you can. So this seems to be the ideal opportunity to do it.

Please see your way to help me reach my target. It will be much appreciated by me and by those that the Saints Foundation works with.

Cheers to you all,

Mike
