To mark my 50th year on this beautiful planet, I thought I'd set myself a challenge and try to raise some funds for two wonderful charities that have helped several members of my family, and many more besides.

I would be very grateful for a donation to make it all worthwhile, no matter how small. There are two links below, one for The Christie and one for The British Heart Foundaton.

If you happen to be on the route on the big day, give us a wave or a cheer - I'm going to need all the support I can get!

Wish me luck!
