This wasn’t an easy decision, I’ve lost 2 brothers, both called Christopher; my Army brother, the most recent. But instead of the usual charities one considers; I’m going to try and raise money for Service Dogs UK; for those with PTSD who have served. A wonderful quote from them ‘Changing lives, two at a time’. I’ve seen the impact that a dog can have, and if there is indeed a ‘God’, then dogs are truly his finest work. Seeing as it’s unlikely I finish in the Top 10, or run Sub 2:30, I have been asked multiple times to ‘un-retire’, James Haskell. If I can raise over £500, I will carry that life-size cut-out around the entire route. I promise to finish the route with James, even if I shit my pants at some point…which is quite the possibility.
