*FUNDRAISING EVENT*

How about a bit of give and take? I will be holding a brilliant singles night to raise funds for Phabkids on Weds 22nd April. You can get more details and buy tickets from my fab website. www.ree-cycle.com

I never thought I would be mad enough to even attempt it, but somehow I have caught the marathon bug. Many say the London Marathon is the best so I will be trying it out in April.

Training is going well so far, although dragging myself out for a run on a freezing, dark boxing day almost broke me! If anyone ever fancies joining me then let me know! I am going to attempt to write some kind of blog/ trianing diary to keep everyone updated on my progress.

As well as running I am trying to raise money for a brilliant charity. Phab kids is a national charity dedicated to bringing together children  with and without physical disabilities on equal terms to learn from each other, and above all to have fun. It is a small charity with a big heart and every penny and every pound really does make a difference. Phab kids offers activities which range from sailing and orienteering to theatre visits and quiz evenings.

Many of you will know that before I started working in BBC News I spent a few years working in social care. Much of this work was with kids with various disabilities and I am really passionate about trying to create an even playing field, regardless of any potential limitations.

Please please please sponsor me and help a disabled child get the same enjoyment and activity from life that we all take for granted.

Thanks and best wishes
