A few months ago I drunkenly signed up to run this year's Great North Run.  Led astray by my friend Emma Tidey, who has been raising money for Bloodwise for a number of years in memory of her Dad Tommy, I woke up to a registration email from the charity.

Those who know me well, may say 'Ed can easily do that.  He's always doing exerise stuff'.  So to make it a worthwhile challenge I'm aiming to do the run in under 1 hour 40.  

Please give what you can to support this great charity.  The more you give the faster I will (attempt) to run.  Having listened to Emma talk about Tommy and other families who have lost someone to blood cancer, the suffering I will face is nothing compared to their pain.
