Well hello there!

So you've obviously received my email and are now here doing a double take and saying to yourself "He's doing what?!". But yes. It's true. I'm attempting to run 10K on October 3rd after only taking up running a few weeks ago.

Why, you ask yourself, would I do this? Well it's all part of the new lease of life that the new flat seems to have given me. I don't really know why one sunday afternoon I decided to go for a run, I just did. And now here I am having bought proper shoes and a shirt and going out every week running about the streets of Mid Sussex.

But i'm digressing a bit. You've hopefully come here to donate some money and for that I really do thank you. It doesn't matter how little or how much you want to donate. Seriously. I dont care if it's tuppence ha'penny, it's all a little way of me seeing you say "Well done you...you're mad, but hat's off to you".

And now the cheesy sales bit:

"Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It?s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK gets your money faster and, if you?re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation."

So please sponsor me now, and if I make it to the finish line then mine's a vodka and coke ok?!

Nic.
