Hi all. I've never run for charity before ( and given the state of my knees, probably never will again) so that's probably an indication of how important the charity I'm running for is to me. It's inspired by a brave young boy called Joseph - his parents are two of my oldest friends. Their target is to raise £11,000 for the NECCR and I'd appreciate any support you can give me.

I'm doing the Great North West half marathon on Sunday 21st February, the Wilmslow half marathon on Sunday 3rd April and the Edinburgh marathon on Sunday 29th May (I'm even missing a cricket game for that!). I'm hoping to break my PB of 1:52 for the half and 3:55 for the full one. I'll keep you updated.

Please give generously! Thank you.

David
