Quick edit - I’m pretty overwhelmed by the support so far, so I’ve bumped up the goal as I think I think we can raise more for a great cause!!

I've decided to do something stupid. You know when you think about doing something then you tell someone, then you have to do it.

30km in a day on my 30th birthday. 100 days from now as I write this.

It's gonna be tough and I thought it'd be an opportunity to raise some money for an amazing charity here in Brum, SIFA Fireside who do work to help homeless and vulnerably housed people. People who need help more than ever now.

I am in terrible shape at the moment, but I am working on it. I know that I won't be able to just go out and run 30km in one shot, so the plan is to run 10km first thing in the morning, followed by a few more 5km runs. 

I think that this is going to take about 3.5 hours (probably more) of running.

This is going to be a real challenge for me but I'm looking forward to it.

All I ask is this year, if you would have bought me a pint for my birthday, chuck £5 in here instead. It's a really great cause and every £1 makes a difference.
