Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and hopefully taking time out to donate your hard earned cash money to The Shaw Trust... That's the charity i'm running for and not some dodgy offshore tax fiddle i've set up to siphon off your dough into my curmudgeony grasp... honest, i'm not that clever or evil!

See, all above board, the Shaw Trust is a national charity which supports disabled and disadvantaged people to prepare for work, find jobs and live more independently helping those who face barriers due to disability, ill health or social circumstance.

Currently i'm loving the running, using my new beard to protect my vulnerable chin from the Russian/Arctic/London winter and sporting my awesome new running MP3 player...

It may look like a crossbetween a rejected Star Trek prop and a double hearing aid but no-one notices as I wooosh past them around Regent's Park and up Finchley Road.

I'll add more war stories in time i'm sure!
