I will be running the Berlin Marathon on 25 September 2011. I say "running" - having, as I do, the natural speed of a three-toed sloth (being, as you know, the slower of the sloths), I will not be running it quickly. In a way, that means my achievement will be significantly more impressive than those little fellows who seem to think they should be applauded for doing 2 hours' exercise.

Anyway, I will be trying to raise some money for Born to Care (a Save the Children Project) and for Students Supporting Street Kids. Both are great UK charities who do fantastic work, albeit on slightly different scales.

Any donations will of course be very gratefully received.
