I will be running the Lincoln Half Marathon on the 1st October, and anyone who has followed my exploits over the years will know what a challenge this will be!!

To motivate me that little bit more I would like to raise money for both Arthritis Research UK and the Bingham Town U15 Girls Football team. The arthritis charity is an obvious choice - they're carrying out vital support work and research into this horrible disease. The U15 girl's team are a terrific bunch of girls and need the extra funds for training over the winter months when the Butt Field facilities are unavailable due to bad weather. For all the money these top footballers earn, it's here at grass roots level where the money is needed most.

Any donation will be split 50/50 between the girls football and Arthritis Research UK. Please let me know if you wish your donation to support one charity instead of the other and I'm more than happy to accommodate
