Thanks to everyone for your support! I managed to get a new PB! So really pleased, did it in 2hrs 38mins 26s and came 149th. Thanks again to everyone for their generous donations!!!

This year I've decided to run for St Mungo's. Apart from it's great sounding name, it's a really worthwhile cause. I'm sure everyone must realise over this last Winter it's been extra tough if you've been homeless and I know that some guys only survive because of the generous hearts of these people at St Mungo's. It's quite close to my heart as well since I've got to know the guys who sleep out along my running route.

Here is a brief of what they do...run emergency services - including street outreach teams, emergency shelters for rough sleepers and hostels....support homeless people in their recovery - opening the door to safe housing, drug and alcohol support and physical and mental health care. We provide more help for homeless people in gaining life skills than any other charity - from job training to independent living skills in our 'semi-independent' houses....Preventing homelessness ... Our 'complex needs' housing provides safe and supportive homes for nearly 400 vulnerable people. Our community support teams work with thousands of people at risk - including former rough sleepers.

...more can be found at www.mungos.org there is also an opportunity to volunteer so if you feel inspired, please apply.

If you are able to make any donation no matter how small or big it would be greatly appareciated.

Many thanks! Simon
