I'm supposed to tell my story here. I'm concious that I'm very lucky and don't really have one to tell. I just like to run and wanted to challenge myself and am lucky enough to be able to.

So on the 26th September I am running the St Oswald's way ultra - which is 100 miles across Northumberland from Lindisfarne to Chollerford. You can see more at stoswaldsultra.com. 

I've done a bit of running before  but have never asked for sponsorship as I've never really felt I was doing anthing special. This feels a bit different.

Bloodwise do excellent work fighting Leukaemia & Lymphoma and are a very worthy recipient of any money you can spare. They are also my work's staff charity and Royal London will match what I rasie up to £250.
