Hi there folks,

Well after a lull 2008 I am back on the marathon trail.

There will of course be updates available in a variety of places - here, the T&C website, and probably most Saturday nights when I bemoan my self-imposed abstinence.

I am running for Bedford Hospitals charity again, which is of course a very worthwhile cause as well as giving me the opportunity to train with some of themost excellent people I know. So you won't just be giving money to me, you will be putting a smile on the face of Jude Chris, Lovely Lynni et al.

Every penny will be much appreciated, so thanks to anyone who has donated, will make a donation, or will simply smile, wave and profer jelly babies as a I go past.

This year's target is three hours and thirty minutes. Wish me luck!

And so, in the words of Jennifer Aniston (does she still do those shampoo adverts?), here comes to science bit...

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bedford Hospitals Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
