I wasn't planning to fundraise, but once I'd mentioned to a few people I was signed up to a marathon they wanted to know what charity I was supporting and seemed pretty keen to donate some money, generous souls that my friends and family are. 

So in addition to some dubious fitness reasons, I'm now also running the Manchester Marathon on 10th April for the Alzheimer's Society. Please do give them some money. I'll try not to bore you with running chat. 

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 the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
