Following a couple of 10k runs I thought it was time to pick up the pace and start doing some real running. So with a knee injury, some advice from the physio and a good friend to keep me company my training has begun.

I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 9th October, 2011 with Alison Smith to raise money for Practical Action. Practical Action aims to reduce poverty through technology, enabling poor communities to build their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions, transforming their lives and forever protecting the world around them.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please dig deep and donate now. Your generosity is amazing, thank you.... xxx
