I've decided to run my first marathon - Manchester Marathon in April in aid of Shelter, a wonderful, life-changing charity. Those who know me well will know I’ve had a tricky start to training with a broken arm (from slipping on ice during a run!) and a horrible bout of asthma but I’m back to the training!

I'm sure you'll all agree that home is everything - it provides safety and warmth, even when everything else may be complete chaos.

As Shelter say, 'Home is a human right. It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency. We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.'

Shelter and I would be so grateful if you can spare any money towards this amazing cause. Thank you for your support - I really do appreciate it.
