A few days to go until the London Marathon and as you can see from the picture opposite i am quite literally s*****g myself! No kidding, it is a well known fact that around the 22 mile stage many peoples inner core strength gives way and involuntary bowel movements occur!

Well I am willing to make you a deal - if this happens to me then you get your money back (I fully expect to see plenty of you with cameras at the ready at the 22mile mark). I am working hard on my core stability so hopefully you will be giving to this fabulous charity.

Two years ago a very close friend of my sister's was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so it is a charity that has touched us both and I sincerely hope that you can make a small contribution online and support this wonderful cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain & Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope the picture made you chuckle - I am sure it didnt to the poor bloke that it actually happened too!

Best Wishes

Nick
