As some of you may be aware I prefer spending my Sunday's wrapped in a blanket, on a sofa, watching TV. However for one day this year I plan on moving from this spot. If that isn't enough of an excuse to donate then I will also be competing in the Sheffield Half Marathon. I will be doing this along with others from the Sheffield University Squash Club to raise money for The Sheffield Children's Hospital. Our joint aim is to raise £1000 and I am hoping to play a key role in achieving this.

The only time I have done something like this is when I did Tough Mudder 2013 and I can assure you it was not a pleasant 4 hours of my life. I plan on running around 3 km more than the distance I did then in half the time. As added incentive every minute over the 2 hour mark will mean I will donate an extra £1 to the cause and let me assure you with my current financial situation I cannot afford to be late.
