I've always wanted to run a marathon. I'm not sure why because it sounds like a world of pain, but there you go. And now, thanks to Southgate Sports and Leisure Trust, I've been given a chance to do just that.
SSLT is a very worthy charity - its remit is to promote a variety of sports including hockey, football and running in Enfield, north London, and as a result it helps provide facilities for hundreds of youngsters to play sport. To do this, it needs to raise funds through events like the London marathon. I need to raise £3,000 for the charity. Please be generous - as I'm sure all of you, especially those parents among you, are well aware, it is a very worthy cause.
