Hello all and Merry Christmas!

In an attempt to reclaim a bit of that Christmas magic that I have been missing since I figured out that Santa Claus isn't real, I have decided to run the 5km Santa Run in London.

I will be attempting the Run with my good buddies Sean (I am the Turk to his JD) and Mark C Turnbull. And we will be dressed like Father Christmas because the charity gives a free costume to everyone who participates.

Running 5km (3 miles) dressed like Santa?! That won't be hot and uncomfortable in the slightest. Despite running two half-marathons already this year, I reckon this will be my biggest challenge! Plus, I might be tied to Sean and Mark.

So anyway, this is the page where you can sponsor me. And if you've come this far then I assume you're going to sponsor me so thank you very muchly. I need to raise a minimum of £100. All of the money is going to the Brooke Hospital for Animals - a worthy cause (see left) and the place where Sean is currently working.

This website is the easiest way to sponsor me and will only take a few minutes.

Once again, thank you and Merry Christmas to all!

Lots of festive love,

Simon xxx
