Many of you know I dance. A lot of you know that I DO NOT RUN! I hate running. But I always wanted to be one of those smug runners, smiling away with their ipod and skinny legs.

Vanity alone could not drive me to this (shocking I know), so I am running for a fantastic and important cause. If I get skinny legs along the way so be it. I intend to take on as many challenges as I can and see where it takes me. I am aiming for £1000 to begin with.

SSAFA has been supporting Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and their Families for over 125 years. We all know someone who has fought for their country in the past or is in service now.

I actually hate asking for sponsorship, everyone has a sponsored event these days. Don't think of it as sponsoring me, think of it as a little contribution to the boys and girls of our Armed Services.
