For some reason I've decided to do the Great South Run, with only a month's notice! I was given the opportunity to run for Help The Hospices, which is a very worthwhile cause, and I'm keen to push my running on from the usual 6 miles to 10! Please give what you can - every little helps!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
