I don't really like running, and I really dislike asking people for money. So why the hell am I putting myself in the middle of that Venn diagram and asking for sponsorship for running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11th October? Well, because even more than those two, I have hated watching loved ones, friends and old pals parents and even Dolly Parton, dealing with or dying from cancer.

Money is tight for everybody these days but every donation makes a difference, and I'm really grateful for every penny. And, I'm never doing this again.
