My personal message:

What am I doing?
I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 19th October 2008.

Seven days later I will be running the Birmingham Half Marathon, on Sunday 26th October 2008.

In an attempt to get myself fit for these events I will be giving up alcohol for 6 weeks, from Sunday 14th September until after the Birmingham run on Sunday 26th October... I think this could be the biggest challenge of the lot!!

Why the British Heart Foundation?
My dad, who died very suddenly last year, suffered with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,  which is a disease of the heart muscle.

Had he still been alive I'm sure he would have bet me that I couldn't manage 6 weeks without a drink so, in a loosely connected kind of way, this is my bet with him... and a good cause wins regardless.

Why is the target £238?
Because it only takes £1 from each of my Facebook friends to reach this amount - how hard can that be?
