Anyone that has heard me rant about social justice and opportunities for young people will know that a charity like Buttle - who make a real and direct difference to children and young people living in poverty - is something I'd be a fan of. Buttle provides the support that leads to chances and opportunities that may otherwise not exist for those who really need them. In short, they're great!

For my part I'm attempting to run the Half in 1 hour 45 minutes so if you're in London on the 6th October please come and cheer me on becuase I will certainly need the support!

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please give what you can to help me raise my target - it is for a very worthy cause and will be well used and much appreciated!
