<p>Hi to all my lovely friends and family!</p> <p>What I've kept a bit of a secret lately has been my plan to run in (and hopefully complete) the Birmingham half marathon.</p> <p>I really wanted to fundraise for Freedom Form Torture, an amazing charity which works with survivors of torture, and really helps rebuild lives. However, I didn't quite get around to fundraising in advance of the event, due largely to my (fairly realistic) opinion I might not actually finnish the blimmin' thing, so am asking you to dig deep now that you know I've actually done the hard bit!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
