I'll be running the Birmingham Half Marathon on Sunday 24th October. I did my last half marathon 16 years ago and it will be a lot harder now!

This will raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation which grants magical wishes to children facing life threatening illnesses.

As a parent, I can understand how devastating it must be to have a child with a life threatening illness and how amazing it must be to make the child's wish come true. 

I can remember also as a kid how disappointing it was when Jim'll Fix It didn't reply to our letters. 

Go on, be a Jimmy Saville and dig deep, you could make a sick child's wish come true.
