At XLP I have the joy of constantly setting people challenges that are supposed to inspire them but that often causes them pain, so this challenge is for all of those 14 year old girls I dragged and forced up Mount snowdon, JT who I made drink fish and orange juice. Tim who I have made drive any kind of weird truck known to man. For all those people I have got into boats, into rivers, forced on runs, forced down tunnels and made to go camping. For forcing Evil and Chris down a rope off a bridge at my stag do and for all those guys and girls on the european cycle last year who I cheered on from my comfortable bus.

So far this year I've shaved my head in Kenya, I've done Tough Mudder a 12 mile army obstacle course getting electric shocked but I wanted to set myself a new challenge that I really have no idea if I can do to help raise money for the amazing work that the charity I work for XLP does working to create positive futures for young people.

So on Saturday I will be taking on the 2 and a half marathon length of 62 miles from London to Brighton.

Please do support me and make this pain worth it!!
