My 8 year old granddaughter Carrie has been raising money since the summer for Yorkhill Children's Hospital where Carrie and several of her friends have been patients. So far she has raised over £1500! To help raise even more I will be taking part in a 3km run in Hyde Park on New Year's Day! 

My father used to enter races when he was at school, not because of his ability - none at all as a runner, but because he said somebody had to come last and it might as well be him. I look forward to continuing a family tradition!
