On Sunday 7th May, I'll be running in the Neurocare 10k in Rother Valley Country Park, just outside Sheffield. At the turn of 2017, I decided to get fit and raise money for a good cause simultaneously!

I've been training since the end of January, having never done any distance running. It's been tough on the old knees but I have kept up the three-runs-per-week training schedule rain or shine, and am hoping to stagger over the finish line come May 7th.

Your donations to Neurocare help fund life-saving equipment and ground-breaking research and training, enhancing the quality of Neuroscience and Neurology departments in Sheffield hospitals.

Thank you for all of your support!
