<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p>Starting with a 5K in Edinburgh in January 2011 and ending with Santa Dash in Paisley next Christmas with half marathons (4), 10K's (5) and one 6 mile run (Bolton) in between.</p>
<p>All for a more than worthy cause, St Vincent's Hospice in Howwood. Why a target of £2012? well it's soon going to be Olympic year and I want to get myself fit enough to watch it all on the telly! My cousin Robert passed away some years ago after a brave fight against cancer, this is for him.</p>
