Hello,

For those that know me you may have noticed that I am, what is commonly termed, a big lad. Not traditionally athletic, in recent months I have been engaging in an "eat less food plan" and "do more exercise project" in the name of losing a bit of weight.

One day, whilst on a run down our local canal a strange thought popped into my head. I said to myself:
"You know your exceedingly un-motivated for this exercise malarky. Why not actually have a goal. Why not have something that will make you run. I KNOW I'LL RUN THE LEEDS 10K"

In my heightened state of going mad after this run I thought "I like Cats as well" so decided to email Cats Protection (the UK's largest cat welfare charity) and say I'd run for them. I now had to run. Luckily they sent me a lovely vest.

So thats the story and I now have until the 21st of June to get this side of fit. So I ask all of you to please support me in whats going to be the worst 90 mins or so of my young life by donating as much as you can to Cats Protection (via this website) by clicking the big fat Sponsor Me link at the top.

I'm doing a blog at the address below:

Where you can follow the musings of someone not built to run. There'll be pictures and skills updates.

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: Cats Protection 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!
