I’m not a runner. Never have been. Being tall does not mean I am sporty! My friends will know I trip anytime I take a short walk, so this'll be an adventure..

My sister Marina signed us both up to support the fantastic Skinners’ Almshouse Charity, which provides affordable, sheltered housing for elderly people in need, but only my name came out of the randomiser. Classic.

Everything happens for a reason – so if I'm to learn to run (or at least clumsily jog) 13.1 miles, please can I ask you to donate generously and help me support this important cause.

Thank you so much in advance for helping me support this special Charity and its Residents!
