"It can't be that hard can it?"</p> <p>Actually, I am under no illusion exactly how difficult this is going to be! I've run two half-marathons,&nbsp;and found neither of them particularly&nbsp;easy, so this is a challenge on a whole new&nbsp;level that&nbsp;I am determined&nbsp;to conquer!&nbsp;</p> <p><br>I am&nbsp;raising money for a charity close to my heart, the Children's Burns Foundation.&nbsp;They help children and their families rebuild their lives following burn-injuries with the following mission;</p> <ul> <li>Supporting rehabilitation initiatives to reduce the impact of scarring.</li> <li>Supporting research to prevent the physical and psychological <br>consequences of burn-injury.</li> <li>Partnerships with charities, the Fire Service, the NHS and partners who support children and young people in the care of Manchester Paediatric Burns Service</li> </ul> <p>For more information please visit their website at <a href="http://www.cbf-uk.org">www.cbf-uk.org</a></p> <p>If the stories on there touch you even in just a small way, please donate something, anything, even if it's just a pound.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
