As a celebration to mark the 100th year of the Royal Air Force, I am joining a team of 100 people who will be running the Bristol Half Marathon on 23 September 2018.

As a novice to intermediate runner, I have never challenged myself to run any longer than 10km so doing more than double that distance is a daunting task. Nonetheless, I am going to train hard and my target time at present is to complete it in less than 2 hours.

Our aim is to raise a total of £15,000 for the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund (RAFBF). The RAFBF is a welfare charity that can provide financial and practical assistance to anyone who is serving, or ever served in the RAF, and their partners and dependents too. A wide range of issues from childcare and relationship difficulties to injury and disability, and from financial hardship and debt to illness and bereavement.
