I am running the London 10k on Sunday 14 July, taking part in the Great Scottish Swim on 24 August and running/swimming/cycling a junior triathlon (4km/300m/8km) at Hever Castle on 28 September.

I hope my efforts can help Change of Scene, a great charity that operates from a smallholding just round the corner from my house. Disadvantaged children are referred by schools or social services and CoS help the children gain strength from the natural environment, achieve a sense of purpose & self-esteem. You will really enjoy reading the case studies on their website http://www.changeofscene.org.uk/case-studies/
