Hello friends!

I am running my 21st half-marathon on Feb 16th, in my new home of Brighton. I'm raising money for the Blind Veterans UK charity (see below) and I would be super grateful if my dear friends and acquaintances would kindly sponsor me. To make it a little different to all my other runs, I am going to make this my first one in fancy dress - probably Spider-Man. I've always wanted to dress up as Spider-Man at least once in my life. (Hasn't everyone?)

Blind Veterans UK invited me to run for them after I had appealed on Twitter for any remaining places... suddenly I had a choice of three charities. I chose Blind Veterans as they are lesser known, they have been brilliant to deal with, and a lot of their awesome support to the vision-impaired military society goes largely un-noticed:
