I am running the 2024 Paris marathon on April 2 this year. I run it every twenty years, regular as clockwork, this will be my third at the grand old age of 64. If you find some loose change knocking about, please donate it to Border Collie Trust GB, whose existence is under threat from HS2 developments on their land. Here is a message from BCTGB:

"All You Need Is Love...And TWO Pounds!" We understand that this is a very challenging time financially for everyone...But we still have to do our job for which we are so dependent on the amazing support we receive from all of you...We thought we might make it easier if we ran a campaign where you only need to donate TWO pounds, hoping that all of you will spread the word and the power of volume will create a buzz...It may seem like a small donation, but we can watch it grow into a huge donation with all your support."
