On 26th May 2024 I'll be running* the Edinburgh Marathon.

This is a silly thing for a tired old sod to do.

So I thought I'd chivvy myself by fundraising for the fab Somerset Wildlands, a small rewilding charity of which I'm the chair of the board of trustees.

We buy or steward chunks of land in the Somerset levels and let nature have them back. The Somerset Levels were once a BONKERS wild wetland. Pelicans, lynx, beavers, tigers**, everything. We want to help it thrive again.

We're a small charity with very few overheads and your support would go a very long way.

If you could spare a few quid to help inspire me not to sit by the roadside and cry - as well as helping to give nature a cuddle - I'd love it.

* definitions of 'running' may vary

** I'm lying about the tigers.
