I'm David Blair. I had a wonderful childhood - born in Ebbw Vale one of the most deprived parts of Wales - to a father who was works manager (Coke and Steel) at Ebbw Vale steelworks and mum.

Not enough is said about mum but she was the glue.

I am running my first half marathon - the Scottish half marathon in aid of five charities which mean a lot to me. You can see their details somewhere here.

Please offer your support - not for me - but for these five who make a world of difference in a world where difference is important.
