Having just hit the big 4-0 I’ve decided I need a physical challenge. While the needs of a young family prevent me from climbing Everest or K-2, I figure I can fit in a bit of marathon training.

So here I am. As added motivation I’m excited to be running for Walkabout. I don’t know what’s harder: running 26.2 miles or raising £3000. But every little helps and any donation is a £/$/€ well spent!

Tava has chosen to give up her 6th birthday to help those who can’t walk. In her own words this is why: “I’m doing a fundraiser because when I grow up I want to be a doctor and I want everyone to be healthy and happy. And I want everyone to be able to move from one place to another. That’s why.”
