For someone who used to think that the words 'fun' and 'run' should never belong in the same sentence, I find that I've signed up for a 10K run on Sunday October 15th!

The run takes place at the National Botanic Gardens, Carmarthen, Wales, which will raise money for the Royal Welsh Show.

I also want to use this event to raise money to share between three of my favourite charities: Cancer Research, PLAN International and CPRW (Montgomeryshire Branch), and with your support I hope to be able to give at least £200 to these charities.

Not having run much since school days (30+ years ago), it normally takes 10-12 weeks to prepare for going from couch to 10K, but having only started proper training last week, I've got the grand total of 6 weeks to get ready!

Your donations would be greatly appreciated to support some of the charities which mean a lot to me:

Cancer Research: researching 200+ cancers, without government funding.

PLAN International: a children's charity which strives to advance children’s rights, equality and living conditions all over the world.

CPRW Montgomeryshire: the CPRW (Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales) champions the responsible use of Welsh landscapes.
