Next year with my mate Emma, we will be doing a couple of half marathons; Glasgow and the Great North Run in September.

We are running them to raise funds for the Anthony Nolan Trust, which is a charity that Emma has supported for years.

Neither of us have run under 2 hours for a marathon, which is our target - last year Emma was 41 seconds short - that said if it looks likely that she will beat me, then I am going to trip her up!!

Any level of donations would be fantastic, and thank you!
