Next Sunday, 12th January, I’ll be taking on the Montane Winter Spine race. This is a non-stop foot race along the 268 mile Pennine Way, from south to north, starting in Edale (near Sheffield), and ending just over the Scottish Borders in Kirk Yetholm, covering roughly 1/3rd of the country.

Once again, I’ll be raising money for the Helen Straker Charity, which supports the RUHX and Dorothy House charities - both of which are very close to my heart. These two charities are local and relatively small, so any donations received, large or small, have a hugely beneficial impact to the support they can offer.

If you can spare any change I’d greatly appreciate your support.
