I may have got a little carried away during the 'new year - new challenge' season and seem to have found myself with a place in the world's largest half marathon! 

This is going to be a huge challenge for me. It doesn't seem that long ago since running 60 seconds seemed impossible, never mind 13.1 miles! Let's hope that with some dedication, and lots of training (with my so called friends who have persuaded me that this is a good idea) I will get over that finish line in one piece! 

I have decided to join Team Alzheimer's Society. My colleagues within the Facilities Directorate at the University of Leeds have voted to support Alzheimer's Society throughout 2017. Alzheimer's Society are leading the fight against dementia, supporting people to live well today and researching to find a cure tomorrow. Your donation will help us towards reaching our ambitious target for Alzheimer's Society.  

Thank you for your support.
