I'm no runner. In fact, before I got a place for the London Marathon I'd never run more than a couple of miles. And when I had run those couple of miles it wasn't out of choice.

Anyway, I'm running this marathon now - whether I like it or not - and if you'd like to sponsor me that'd be great.

I'm raising money for Guide Dogs UK, who are an exceptional charity. I've seen first hand the huge difference one of these dogs can make to a visual impaired person's quality of life. But it's not cheap to train a guide dog - it costs a massive £32,400. Now I'm not aiming to raise £32,400 but whatever is donated will help bring one of these dogs into someone's life.
