I'm a fat b@stard so at the beginning of the year I try to shift the excess weight and over the last couple of years I've done that by entering the Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon. I've left it a bit late but I thought that this year I should probably do this for something more than just to keep myself professionally good looking. So I'm going to be running for The Maria Watt Birmingham Foundation for Childhood & Teenage Leukaemia.

The first year I did the course in 1:58 (my aim was just to finish it and try and do under two hours) and last year I did it in about 1:45 so I'm looking to get as near to 1:40 as I can. I've also got a mate who's desperate to beat me as I beat him last year (not a ******* chance!). Even if he does beat me please help me raise more money that him because this charity is close to my heart! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Maria Watt Birmingham Foundation for Childhood & Teenage Leukaemia 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.

That's it from me - I won't go on about it! Get your cash out PLEASE.
