As you can see from this photograph, from the Hyde Park 10k in July, running a half marathon will be an effort!  However, in an attempt to get fitter and then with the passing of my grandfather earlier in the year, I thought doing the Great North Run for Help the Aged was apt.

PLEASE DO ONLY DONATE IF YOU THINK THIS IS A WORTHWILE CAUSE.  I know that a lot of these come around but having read some of the shocking statistics on their website and spoken to members of the team, I believe any funds will be effectively used and help our ageing population live the life they deserve.  Most have been through a lot more than myself for which I am grateful and believe should be acknowledged. See here for more information http://www.helptheaged.org.uk/en-en/default.htm

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help the Aged 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!
