Hi Hi Hi.
I'm running the Reading Half Marathon on behalf of the Institute Of Cancer Research on 21st March.
Anyone who knows me or my brother Olu well will know why I have chosen this charity, and anyone who doesn't, I'll spare you a story as don't want to guilt trip anyone into getting involved.. If you have got this far and are kind enough to think of sponsoring me, I hope you'll trust it is for a very good and very personal reason.
I have put £1500 as my goal but that is just a very conservative, never-done-this-before estimate. I'm planning on raising a lot more and hope you can help....
I'm even prepared to make an idiot of myself... amongst all this Doppleganger stuff recently, it came up that I bear a passing resemblance to child star Gary Coleman, or at least i did when i was a kid.
The little scrot has tormented me for about 25 years of my life, as I type this i shudder at the memory of the big boys at school making me screw my face up and utter his catchphrase on demand...
So I am prepared to kill two birds with one stone - exorcise his ghost and raise funds. At every £100 milestone I will record a short message, saying Arnold's catchphrase "What You Talking about Willis" and put it up on Facebook. Hey maybe even Youtube...
Feel free to suggest other challenges.
Enough already, I'll just say thanks in advance... I'm off for a run
Big Love

EDIT - AS SUGGESTED BY KAREN YOUNG, AT £1500 I WILL RUN THE LENGTH OF LADBROKE GROVE IN MY ELMO OUTFIT. AS PICTURED IN MY PHOTOS. X
