The combination of a worthy cause, peer pressure and my appalling physique have pushed me to the brink of insanity - I've signed up for my first half marathon. To put it bluntly,  I'm no Mo Farah, more a TellyTubby (as my daughter regularly points out). 

I've been inspired by one of our close family friends, whose 7 year old son has recently been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. Seeing them go through this has made me more aware of the support they will need in the coming years.
