Lol- just lol. It's taken me almost 40 years but I've finally got myself off the couch and comically will be running a distance of 5km for charity. No, I can't believe it either.

Obviously I'm not expecting Children In Need style amounts here, but a few quid pledged towards charity will be a good thing all round and will ensure I don't wimp out at the last minute.

I've chosen a mental health charity as it's not something which gets as much love as it should when it comes to donations and most of us will have suffered mental ill-health at some time or another in our lives, or know someone who has. (...continues below on 'Read More')

Anyway, if you're thinking of giving a fiver or tenner to charity this month, as a way of easing your conscience as you fritter away £40 on Call of Duty or a round of drinks in your local swanky bar, how about chucking it in this direction?

Would be appreciated and just think, it means on December 10th at 10am it guarantees I'll be running through the woods whatever the weather. Pray for cold driving rain if you're a masochist, as I know many of you are! ;-)

Thanks for taking the time to read my waffle and please round off your good work now by sticking a few quid on here. Cheers :-)
