Last year I put myself through 13 gruelling miles and more than 100 obstacles for a cause close to my heart. This year, I'm adding seven miles and another few obstacles to make the full 20 for a cause even closer to my girlfriend's heart.

She explains it better than I ever can at her page, which you can see here: http://www.justgiving.com/Katie-Bird2 - anyone who fancies sponsoring her as well, please do!

But from the little I know about this condition and the work the charity does, you can be sure the money is going to a worthwhile place.

If you can spare even a couple of quid, it would be hugely appreciated. And in exchange, even more haggard photos are guaranteed.
