I've left this til the last minute because I wanted to make it through the training in one piece. As I am highly unlikely to be silly enough to agree to another marathon during my lifetime I’ve chosen to run for a charity with a presence across the UK. Running in a bear suit was a step too far, but running for a bear seemed achievable.
BBC Children in Need support disadvantaged children and young people all across the UK. With our support, they are able to change almost half a million young lives across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland every single year. That’s got to be a great reason to help. So go on, put your hand in your pocket and embrace the warm fuzzy feeling you get from doing something good.
