A few years ago (with the help of a few beers) I decided to do something a little bit different - run a 10k. Although not 'built for speed' I successfully completed both the Edinburgh and Glasgow 10k's in 2009.

This year I am 'moving up' to a half maration and was successful in gaining a place in Great North Run (September 19th 2010).

In order to provide greater purpose I will be running to raise funds for the Guide Dogs for the Blind. My grandfather became blind in his latter years and I can understand how challenging life must become when you lose one of your senses.

I realise that we all receive many requests for sponsorship for a range of worthy causes but even a small donation will help.

Thanks

Andrew
