This year I will be running the Scottish 4 Islands Marathon and the London Marathon to raise funds for the Countryside Alliance Foundation's Fishing For Schools. This is a cracking charity which seeks to help adults and children make the most of the incredible remedial and educational benefits of being involved in the natural environment.

The Foundation aims to introduce people to the delights of rural Britain hoping to inspire them to become passionate about the countryside, and helping to protect the natural environment. 

The Foundation is currently running a number of schemes which include:

- Casting for Recovery, which provides women who have been affected by breast cancer the opportunity to learn fly fishing in a natural and . beautiful setting in order to promote healing and recovery. 

-Fishing for Schools, which offers young people the chance to learn how to fish in order to help re-engage with education and promote confidence and self esteem.
