This is my first ever solo sport charity event and fundraiser - so please bear with me while I figure it out. FYI, all the entry fee, etc is paid for, but it would be great if you could spare some funds to donate to Crohn's& Colitis UK. 

This challenge is very personal to me and my family. Having myself suffered from Colitis for a long time and having family and friends who suffer from it, it seems to be far more common than I first thought. 

I won't go into the details, but following an OP I am now able to enjoy life again and really took to sporting activities, mostly cycling and running. Having taken up running in 2020 (thanks Covid), I thought this year might be the one to enter a formal event. 

So, I have entered the Half Marathon at the Great Scottish Run on the 1st Oct 2023. I know (for you runners), it's only a half marathon, but as I said above, please bear with me. I have done the distance in training, but never entered anything more formal than a 5k Parkrun, so this will be an interesting experience.
