Hi friends. This is my first official run, ever! I won't bore you with a long story, merely that I'd be thrilled if those of you who know me will contribute a small sum to RMCH. The children's hospital do great work with passion and selflessness. If you'd ever buy me a pint (well, ok 2 or 3) then please consider donating here in lieu of that!

I'm aiming for £200 - all contributions very welcome. It will take only 20 of you donating just £10 to achieve that goal. Please wish me luck - I'm aiming for 44 minutes to complete this 10k, my first.
