To celebrate 10 years of being a reformed fat kid, I have decided to run the London Marathon in April.

But more importantly, I have chosen to run for WellChild, the UK's childrens charity, who have been working to improve children's health for more than 25 years. To help WellChild continue helping improve children's treatments here in the UK, I am asking that you make a small donation to their cause. Any currency and any amount will do, it's the thought that counts! You can read more about WellChild at www.wellchild.org.uk

For those doubters out there (Plakas), I have been training hard and just completed my first half-marathon last weekend. I ran in a time of 1hr. and 34m and hope to run the actual race in under 3hrs 30 minutes.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: WellChild will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. If you're in the US and itemize your deductions, you can receive a tax benefit as well! Please note that the donation amounts are in Pounds and NOT Dollars!!

So join Vince and Shane, co-owners of the WWE and please sponsor me now!

Thanks so much!
