So it's nearly October which means your Facebook feed will soon be full of people having a pretend struggle with  alcohol in order to raise money for cancer charities.

While it's true that a lot of people could benefit from drinking a bit less and I wouldn't want to discourage people from raising money for charity but I find the Sober October campaign distasteful for a couple of reasons so I decided to do something else.

Here's the deal then. I will run a minimum of 5km every day in October and if you can spare a few pennies you could sponsor me through Just Giving for Cancer Research UK.

Oh and I'll blog all about it at www.fivekeveryday.com

Thanks for reading.
