Against my better judgment, I have been persuaded to run the London Marathon in April. In doing so I have to raise £2,000 for charity. Given the saying "charity starts at home", I've decided to run for the Whittington Hospital Charity Fund. It is a very worthy cause, raising money to build a new neonatal intensive care unit. Apparently it is needed given the recent junior obstetricians!

So if you're feeling generous, or would simply like to see me suffer by running and training for a 26+ mile marathon, please sponsor. The credit crunch is no excuse.

Thanks,

Nick Aresti
