Thanks for clickitty clicking this far.
I'm going to run the Manchester 10km in May in memory of my friend Katie Hoppe who passed away last year. The money I raise I am donating to St Barnabas House inWorthing, which supported Katie and her family in her final days.
I only started running about 10months ago, and that was mainly for buses and to get last orders in at the bar, so doing this run in a good time (and in a bright yellow t-shirt, as part of the fantastic Banana Army - I'm not sure what Banana Man has to say about this) would have been great....
HOWEVER, life isn't that simple! UNFORTUNATELY, I tore some liagments in my ankle playing netball in March (ow!) so it turns out I may have to walk the 10km! My GP has said I probably shouldn't do it, but I'm a stubborn bastard ;) But if I am being sensible, I will have to employ my fabulous sister Morag to run in my place. TWO GUNSONS TACKLE 10KM!
Thank you for your love and support so far everyone :)
A little bird told me that... Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Barnabas Hospices (Sussex) Ltd 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.
Thanks for anything you can spare, guys. It means a lot!

MORAG DID IT :) IN 1HR 22MINS 42SECS. WELL DONE :) My foot wasn't well enough but I cycled around the course (and got rather lost) shouting encouragement in the rain! It was a fantastic day!!
