If you donated to or witnessed my charity wax in 2012, you may know that I seem to enjoy being publicly humiliated. This year I felt I would go for something a little more conventional, by somewhat impulsively booking a slot on Manchester's 10k run. I have never run that far before and have a pair of hamstrings that snap whenever the weather changes or I get up from the sofa too quickly. Some people aim for a specific time for these events but I will just be happy to get over the line at all.

I would be eternally grateful to anyone wishing to support me in this brave venture, all proceeds going to The Teenage Cancer Trust. This is a fine charity that works to support young people with a cancer diagnosis, the only charity in the UK to focus on an age group for whom cancer creates a unique set of problems.

Please give what you can.
