Hi everyone,

So I've signed up for the following three runs:

• Southampton 10k (5th September)
• Great South Run (10 miles, 17th October)
• Gosport Half (13.1 miles, 21st November)

I'll update with times and reports as I tick the runs off!

I'm looking for some sponsorship for the University of Southampton's Ignite programme while I'm at it. They raise money to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds, but don't take my word for it, here's the blurb. Many thanks!

We want all our students to benefit fully from studying at Southampton, and to have the chance to build themselves a bright future, regardless of their background. The Ignite Programme provides disadvantaged students with a unique combination of financial support, mentoring, and networking events to help them to succeed. The programme is entirely funded by donations from our alumni and supporter community. By fundraising for Ignite, you will ensure that we can help even more of our most disadvantaged students - empowering them to thrive at university and to determine their own futures as successful Southampton graduates.
