Right - let's work with this. I think I was being greedy with the £3k so maybe the £2k I needed to raise should have been up there to start with.

Not long to go now - training almost done and carb-loading is in process. Think I'm single-handedly keeping Loyd Grossman in business.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Racing Welfare will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So dig deep and be generous please - who would run in a race like this?

Sponsors - it's over to you.
