I ran 9 miles the other day so can confirm that this will be merely 'extremely difficult', as opposed to 'completely impossible'.

On 1 August, I'll be running the 13.1 miles of the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Tommy's. Tommy's do amazing work providing trusted pregnancy and baby loss information and support, and conducting research and finding treatments to save babies' lives.

The race was originally due to take place in March 2020, but was delayed for obvious reasons. The last year has been an incredibly challenging year for the charity sector - the impact of Covid-19 means many charities are now struggling to raise the vital income they need to survive. Your support this year is more important than ever so thank you so much in advance for donating whatever you can. It really will make a massive difference.

And an August half, 22 months after my last one, is likely to be much more challenging than a March one only five months after my previous one, so please give generously...
