I last did a half marathon in 2003. I said never again. And I'm now 20 years wiser (or not as the case may be!). So this will be a challenge (I'm a 10km kinda jogger), training underway but at least it's a flat-ish route, well it's in London so that means it'll be flat right?

It's on Sunday 8th October and known as the Royal Parks Half, starts and finishes in Hyde Park and takes in the sights of Green Park and St James Park.

I am taking part in this event to support, fundraise and raise awareness for Shelter as part of Dreams' charity partnership.

At Dreams we recognise the importance of a safe and secure home. Its where we raise our children, plan for the future, and get a good nights sleep. Without the foundation of a home, its impossible to thrive in life.

That is why Dreams have partnered with Shelter, the UKs largest housing and homelessness charity, to ensure everyone has access to the home they deserve.

Because dreams really do start at home.
