<p>So I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon on 27 May. This will be my second crack at the old 26.2 miler, having done the Paris one a couple of years ago. So if you would like to sponsor me you can be reasonably sure I'll actually complete it and won't end up on the floor at mile eight, tears streaming down my face and sobbing, "I didn't think it'd be this hard! Why didn't anyone say it'd be this hard?"&nbsp;</p> <p>Which I'd love it if you would, by the way - sponsor me. I'm raising money for AVA, which is a brilliant organisation based in London working to end violence against women and girls. Any contribution you can make will obviously be greatly appreciated and put to very good use, so please don't be shy. And if you'd like to find out a bit more about AVA you can do so here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.avaproject.org.uk/">http://www.avaproject.org.uk/</a></p> <p>Thank you, and wish me luck!</p> <p>Martin x</p>
