I have done something silly and signed up to run the Leeds Marathon on 10 May. I have never done an organised run before so I am fully Couch-To-42k'ing it.

I'm running to raise money for Alzheimer's Society. My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia in 2023, aged just 63. We have been losing him to this hideous inverted childhood ever since.

I will be putting one foot in front of the other far more than I need to over the next few weeks, so to make this monotonous endeavour worthwhile it would mean a lot to me if you could spare a few pounds for this great cause.

Thanks for your support.
