Since I enjoyed the Maidenhead half-marathon so much last year (not!), I decided to give myself another challenge to train for. I'm hoping that your support will inspire me to train all that bit harder over the coming month, and to beat my time of 1 hour 54 mins from September.

This time I'm raising money for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to support the pioneering work that they do.  Money raised helps not only the scientists searching for cures, but also the doctors that depend on the latest cancer treatments and technologies.  And, of course cancer patients and their families.

By supporting this amazing cause we can keep making life better for people with cancer and keep striving towards a future without it.

On Sunday 6th October I'll be running and remembering a true inspiration, David Pinnington.
