Tim asked me if I knew anyone who wanted to run the marathon. I said 'yeah'.

Now I'm doing it. There's three possible reasons why you might want to sponsor me: 

1. You want me to soil myself in public ('runners trots' are REAL, learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runner's_diarrhea)

2. You care about Pre-Eclampsia - it makes childbirth a stressful, painful nightmare for thousands of women every year, it kills babies and for the survivors the effects never really go away. Luckily, I will never suffer from it and that's why I'm raising for it. 

3. You want 'Away Day' to make a return this season. If you sponsor me, then we'll make at least one video the weekend that I hit my sponsorship target. If you sponsor big, you can be in it.

Thanks for sponsoring. Seriously. Giving money to charity is a simple barometer as to whether you really give a shit about the billions of people in the world who aren't you. 

I promise to only let you down a little bit.
