I hate running. I never do it. I don't want to do it. My knees certainly don't want me to do it. The thought of it makes me want to eat a four person portion of pasta bake all by myself. I'm very good at eating but sadly, competitive eating is much less impressive than a half-marathon. It's possible that I might have a few tantrums during training but none of this is important because I'm going to be running to save the lives of abandoned babies in Uganda. 

Child's i Foundation find families for abandoned children, so they can grow up loved and cherished instead of languishing in an orphanage. Please give whatever you can as every penny you help me raise will go straight to the project in Uganda.

For friends who have recently supported Rachel Hall for running a full marathon, I would like to remind you how fit she is and how unfit I am. Please ask Hannah Evans how I managed on a recent jaunt to Brockwell park for an unbiased opinion... 

Slightly boring, yet reassuring bit...
