<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On the 11th September 2011 this (currently) overweight, sedentary middle-aged bloke will be partaking in the Lichfield 10k run to raise money for the Ambulance Services Benevolent Fund.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="style1">The Ambulance Services Benevolent Fund is a registered charity, established in 1986 to help ambulance service personnel and their dependants from all over the United Kingdom, Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man in times of genuine hardship.&nbsp;</p> <p class="style1">&nbsp;</p> <p class="style1">The assistance given to both serving and retired ambulance personnel grows year on year and the Fund has now become firmly established within the field of ambulance staff welfare. The Fund assists claimants to deal with a whole variety of distressing circumstances, many arising from the stressful and demanding incidents they have had to deal with in their careers in the ambulance services.</p> <p class="style1">&nbsp;</p> <p class="style1"><a href="http://www.asbf.co.uk">www.asbf.co.uk</a></p> <p class="style1">&nbsp;</p> <p>My training has started today, 28th March 2011: I've bought new trainers and carried them home, and am now resting.&nbsp; I'm going to be nagging everyone I know for sponsorship by email, through Facebook and Twitter, so there's no way out for me!!&nbsp; Please sponsor me!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
