Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running 15 miles from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to Putney on 7 October as part of Shelter's Urban Rush event. I am running to raise money for Shelter because everyone needs a roof over their head. I know I do. Particularly after having run 15 miles. I want to help Shelter support people who need help to get one, do you?

This run starts really near where I currently have a roof over my head and finishes where I first ever started running back in the 80s.

Since those days of running and rowing at Putney, I spent twenty five years not running at all. This run will be the longest run I have ever done. So I think it is probably worth a donation to Shelter. Indulge me.

Go on, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Shelter. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Meanwhile, if you are in central London on 7 October, look out for the big lanky bloke puffing like a steam train.

thanks.
