Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is a year of personal anniversaries. It's my first running and fitness challenge in public in 10 years.  I'm doing it in memory of my badly missed little brother, who was a talented runner and sporting champion until he died in a sporting accident in the prime of his life twenty years ago.  And I've committed to the Media Trust, because it's my 10th year as one of their volunteer industry mentors. The charity's mission is focused on communication;  it connects local groups up and down the country - including many youngsters - with the expertise and networks that established media professionals like me take for granted, to improve their communication strategies and enable them to future-proof their work. I've met some extraordinary young folk and giving them something back has been amazingly easy and rewarding.

So please dig deep - I know it's an ask and I am begging. But  your donation will be in a great cause...and help keep me going on Sunday 8th July.
