So all my time over the last year in running events has really been building up to this. I'm under no illusion that the running will be tough, but the real challenge is raising enough money to make a positive difference to global poverty and so now more than ever I need your help!

This time I'm running on behalf of Christian Aid, who do fantastic work . One of the key reasons behind my support for them is their efforts to identify and tackle the causes of poverty, not just their effects. Only if we address the reasons behind poverty can we really make this a fair world for future generations. It's something I feel every single human being can be passionate about. So please lets start the hard work.
