Okay, the idea is basically you give money for the excellent hospital who looked after my niece Tilly. The staff at St. Georges P.I.C.U were fantastic and the level of care and compassion they demonstrated was way beyond that expected. Tilly spent 3 weeks there before passing away as a result of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. In essence, an almost unimaginably difficult time was made a little more bearable by the staff at the hospital and the well thought out facilities. I'd like to help my sister Kate raise some money so that other families benefit from the same level of care.

....however...I wanted to make this a bit different so I'd like donations with a 'time.' The time is a bit of a sweepstake; the time you think I can run a 10K road race (Stubbington 10K on the 20th Jan 2013). I know it's not a marathon (I am the older big sis with the shorter legs after all) To give you a few clues:

1. I only just beat Joseph (age 5 at the time) running round the rec for a mile.

2. Last year it took just over an hour having drunk 3/4 of a bottle of red wine the night before and without training.

3. I have been training...sort of (I did buy a new pair of trainers about three months ago and I've been running about 4 times since)

So, what do you think I'll do it in? Donations of at least a fiver and I'll  find you a nice couple of bottles of wine (or a big thingy of sweets if you are too little for wine) if you get the closest guess to my time.

(Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.)

So please dig deep and donate now.
