Hello… FYI: I'm running the Run Cheltenham 10k in (yes, that's right) Cheltenham on September 21st. This is in memory of my father-in-law, Michael Compton.

I'm not a natural athlete, but in spite of this, intensive training is currently under way, and my goal is to push through and reach the finish line, fueled by nothing other than determination and (probably) jelly snakes (or equivalent).

No pressure, but If you feel inclined to sponsor me, then please do feel inclined. I'd be very grateful. Your contribution will help me raise funds for Sue Ryder who provided highly professional and compassionate hospice care for Michael.

Hopefully I can do him proud.

MANY THANKS!
