So after much thought, I have decided to raise some money on my run for Medecins Sans Frontiers. It is an international charity that sends medical aid into conflict zones, to treat those caught up in the violence. It does so without prejudice or favour on any side.

I should point out here that my son works for them, but that is not behind the reasoning for this choice: MSF is something my wife and I have supported for many years. Having said that, he did help make this film on the work in Gaza which I found particularly moving.

Thank you in advance.
