On a cold and wild November night, I signed up to do the London Marathon. It's months away, he said. Plenty of time, he said. Now it suddenly seems like it isn't many months away, nor is there plenty of time.

I'm doing all of this for a remarkable charity you may have heard of that goes by the name of Save the Children. From Indonesia to the Ivory Coast, Brazil to Bangladesh, Uganda to our very own United Kingdom, Save the Children works tirelessly to promote children's rights, improve health and eradicate poverty and hunger. Most recently, the charity has been critically involved in supplying aid to the Philippines in wake of one of the worst typhoons in recent history (For more info visit http://www.savethechildren.org.uk).

By sponsoring me in my naive attempt at completing the marathon, you'd be donating towards an incredible cause - no donation is too big or too small (every little bit really does count!) and I'd be eterrrrrnally grateful. 

Lots of love, 

Simon.
