The passing of the years isn't going to make this easier... 

With little sporting talent, running was always something I could just about manage - for a few minutes at least. On 12 March I'll be dragging myself around Surrey with three hopes: to finish without a heart attack, to weather the forecast snow and to raise as much as I can for those dedicated to ridding the planet of childhood cancer. The inspiration is a schoolfriend's daughter who is dealing with stuff that most of us will never have to.
