Starting on the 21st of February I'm setting off to run the Camino de Santiago (Camino Frances). This will take me some 560 miles across the north of Spain - beginning in the Pyrenees mountains and ending on the western coast of Spain in Santiago de Compostela!

I aim for a marathon a day, but ain't gonna sweat it and will have rest(ish) days and days where I might choose to stop in a town instead of forcing the issue.

I had a blast running the London Marathon for Mind last April (raising £3000 along the way!) and logically running 21 marathons is better than just 1...right?!

I've chosen to run in support of The Red Cross - the world’s emergency responders. When you see a major emergency in the news, it’s likely that the British Red Cross are helping those affected. From earthquakes to armed conflict, from fires to floods, in the UK and abroad, their teams react quickly with humanitarian aid and kindness across 192 countries, applying local knowledge and global expertise to save lives and provide comfort. Outside of emergencies, in the UK, their services reach people who are vulnerable to provide company, care and compassion.

Please give what you can and wish me luck!
