Hello there, I'll keep this bit as short as poss.

I'm gonna battle around the unforgiving Great North Run course again in a few weeks. It'll be my 4th in a row and definitely the toughest. The irony of the London 2012 "Inspire a Generation" motto being that having spent every hour working there I've not had the trainers on much.

I'll definitely get round, no matter how slow, needing no more inspiration to do so than the man whose Foundation I'm hoping to raise a few pounds for.

Steve Prescott went to the doctor with stomach pains in 2006 and came home having been told he'd not see his young children grow up. Given months to live six years ago, his mental strength and physical and fundraising efforts in the face of unthinkable adversity since, have been superhuman.

The usual Justgiving bits are below...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks again
