Throughout my mum's final months, we found the assistance of Sobell House Hospice incredibly useful. I wanted to do something to remember her while raising vital money for them.

I have, therefore, decided to compete in this year's Oxford Half Marathon on their behalf. I reckon I'll regret this about 15 minutes in, so I'd like you to guilt-trip me into completing it by sponsoring me. It'll keep me on the hook, the money will be very useful to Sobell and it'll all be in memory of a very brilliant woman who I miss horribly.
