I'll keep this short.

As you can (hopefully) tell from my page summary, I've decided to trudge across 13.1 miles of this country's second city on Sunday October 21st 2012 along with thousands of other people who will probably enjoy running past me throughout the day. It's going to be tough, but if Matt Williams can do it, so can I.

You may be asking why I chose this charity. Well, I did my final year project on one form of blood cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, and saw first hand the wonderful research that is going into curing this group of diseases.
