Ok, this is one of the scariest thing I am ever planning to do: running a half-marathon! I have never done before....and am terribly unfit!

But, you know what....there's this brilliant charity - People & Planet that is always doing amazing things on a daily basis! So, I have to take my fear and my unfit self - lock it somewhere inaccessible and go for it! 

Yes, I ...AM...running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for People & Planet. Why should you give? 

Now, don't be silly, check this out:

And more....

Over the years, People & Planet has also:

Transformed environmental performance across the higher education sector through our Go Green campaigning, including the award winning Green League.

Persuaded the UK government to lead an international commitment to provide HIV/AIDS treatment for all by 2010 — millions more now receive treatment.

Campaigned for Fairtrade in universities, schools and colleges. Over 100 universities, and 106 secondary schools have now achieved Fairtrade status.

Secured $88bn debt cancellation for the world’s poor, by playing a key roll in the Jubilee 2000 campaign.

Persuaded a £20 billion lecturers’ pension fund to adopt a socially responsible investment policy.

Forced Pepsi out of Burma, ending their financial support for the military junta and receiving thanks from Aung San Suu Kyi’s government in exile.

Brilliant, right? So come on, help me raise as much cash as I can for this absolutely magnificent organisation - help me help People & Planet to change the world for the best!
