In my 8th and (hopefully) final year of studenthood, I have decided to make the most of my freedom from the 9-5 in aid of a very good cause. I'll be entering 12 half marathons in 12 months for Macmillan. From the start line in Bristol in September, to the finish line next August, I'll be running 157 race miles and well over 800 miles in training - that's the distance from London to Barcelona.

More than 1 in 3 people will suffer from cancer during their lifetime, so, one day, we could all need Macmillan to give us support, whether it be as sufferers, relatives, or friends.
