As I'm sure you already know, I will be taking part in the Great North Run this weekend.  To be honest, It's not going to be much fun.  And for that reason I want you to give me some money for it. Well not me, but my charity - the MS society which is close to my heart.

So watch me on TV, you will spot me among the 000's in my bright orange MS Superstar vest!!! Or if it's easier, somewhere near the very back, behind Jade Goody and that bloke that wears the full Tudor body armour!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain & Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
