So with it being the Olympic year and all that, I decided I need to do something, somewhat athletic and challenging to remember 2012 as an emphatic year. So I decided on the following...to do a 10k run every month of 2012!

You may ask yourself, hang on January's already gone...yep it has so to compensate I will double up in April (Marathon Month) to make up for January.

The List of running Events

The list is below, I will be updating on how I perform, upload pictures and share my progress throughout the year:

Of course there is a charitable reason behind this as well. As well as all the proceeds of my entry for each event going to the listed charities, I have decied to raise some cash as well (not to pay for my entry, travel and hotels) but for charity. All the money I raise will go to the Khalsa Aid Charity:

Khalsa Aid (KA) is primarily a humanitarian relief agency. Since the launch of KA in 1999 it has provided aid in many different disasters. The idea behind KA has been to provide cross border humanitarian relief and also to raise awareness of global relief and development work.

I strongly believe in this charity, the ability to help those less fortunate than yourselves, those in need of basic food and water and homes is fundamental to every living person in the world. Khalsa aid does a lot of relief work globally and their work still must continue
