I will be running the 106km Isle of Wight Challenge in April. That is 65 miles around the entire island...

In August I will be running the 100km South Coast Challenge. 62 miles from Eastbourne, through Brighton and finishing in Arundel.

Both are one day events with a 15 hour time limit...

And too keep fresh in between I will be trekking 4000ft up Ben Nevis in June.

£4 could pay for a child to call ChildLine, the NSPCC's confidential listening service, and £5 could pay for an adult to call the NSPCC's adult helpline to discuss concerns they have about a child's welfare. Every bit helps.

So please do give what you can, and make my year of pain a little more bearable...
