I've never run before. Well,  a km or two on the treadmill, occasionally. I've run for a bus. I've run up phone bills. But 13 miles through London Parks? This is a big deal for me!

So please give some money to support the wonderful work done by Dog's Trust (I visited one of their sites and was overcome). It'll make all those blisters I'm getting worthwhile.
