In a weak moment, and much against my better judgement, I have been persuaded to run in the British 10k London Run on the 12th July 2009!

Whilst many of you might think that this would be classed as a walk in the park for me, sadly it will not be....!  Following a knee operation I have been struggling with the training and whilst I had hoped to complete the run in well under an hour, I now realise that this may be rather optimistic.  However, you can rest assured that I will be doing my utmost to try to achieve a good time.

The Bob Champion Cancer Trust is my chosen charity and one that I have been involved with for a few years.  The work of the charity supports research into the causes, and prevention, of male cancers with a current focus on prostate cancer research .  You will find some more information about the charity below.  Please be as generous as you can - it doesn't matter how small or large your donation is - it all helps and goes towards vital cancer research.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Oh, and if anyone has a respirator...please do meet me at the finishing line, I am likely to need it!
