This May 5th, I'm trading the sidelines for the start line, taking on the iconic Great Birmingham Run in my first ever 10k! But it's not just about pushing my limits – I'm running for a cause close to my heart, the Albion Foundation Charity. Their dedication to using the power of football to deliver a measurable difference in our local community truly inspires me.

To fuel my run and their impact, I'm aiming to raise £200. Every penny counts, so if you're feeling generous and want to support a first-time runner with a big heart, please donate via the link you have been sent.

Wish me luck (and strong calves!) as I pound the Birmingham streets in support of a great cause.

P.S. Come on you Baggies!
