Thanks for looking.

Some time ago I discovered that my friend Toby Reads daughter Evie had been diagnosed with a very rare regressive genetic condition called Ataxia Telangiectasia or A.T. for short. Toby explained to me the sadness of how a little girl can learn to ride a bike or dance and then have that taken away from her by this illness. As a father of two little girls It made me decide to support the charity that he and his wife Emily have set up to fund research into this little known condition. Please have a look at www.actionforat.org and donate generously.

I am not just hoping to complete the race, I'm hoping to do a good enough time to get a "good for age" place next year. This will mean some pain and a lot of discomfort.
