Many of you will know distance running is definitely not my thing. So what better way to break the mould and run my first half marathon, raising money for RAFA, an association that I have fond memories of with my grandfather and grandmother having run the Dartford branch from 1970-2000.

RAFA runners are giving their all, and your generous donations will help the RAF Association continue to support serving RAF personnel, RAF veterans and their families.

The race starts on Pall Mall, and finishes by Downing Street. It takes in the fabulous views of London's most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Nelson's Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye. The atmosphere created by the other runners and the cheering crowds is amazing and helps our incredible runners get to the finish line!

Whether you are able to give a little or a lot, every contribution counts.
