Three years ago I was the wrong side of fifteen and a half stone and unlikely to run to the end of the street, never mind 13.1 miles. Since then there has been a lot of sweat expended - and I am proud to say that while I could still do with losing a few pounds, I am a very different person: slimmer, healthier and perhaps a little obsessive about running.

But I did it all for me, and so now I want to give something back. Or perhaps I should say I want you to join me in giving something back.

Running a half marathon still isn't easy, either!
