Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Like all males of a certain age, I'm hopelessly trying to reclaim my youth and and vitality, while pretending that nothing much has changed in the eight intervening years since I last pulled on my running shoes.  Suffice to say, my body feels differently and is busy reminding me why I stopped running in the first place.  EVERYTHING HURTS!!!

Perhaps I should have gone the traditional route and just got a sports car to appease the midlife crisis.  Sadly, not only would this be a morally problematic action from an environmental perspective, but there just isn't that type of money in nature conservation, so it remains out of my reach.

However, there is an opportunity to change that.  And you could help. Working for the Trust, I know first hand how important your donations are to the work we do.  Whether it is supporting the day to day running of the charity, work on reserves, or delivering projects for the benefit of specific species or habitats in the north east; we literally couldn't do it without you.

So, please sponsor me to help support wildlife in the region*, and, if it makes you feel better, rest assured that I'm suffering for every penny of it.

Thank you
Phill

* Apparently any monies raised won't be put into 'Phill's electric sport car slush fund'.  Dammit!
