HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! Anyone else come up with a ridiculous New Year idea?

I'm running 26.2 miles throughout January for Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate cancer now affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That's thousands of dads, partners, brothers, grandads, uncles and mates. I'm raising money to help fund lifesaving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer has affected two close family friends, and more recently, my dad.

I’m doing this for my dad. I’m 22 weeks post partum and haven’t properly ran since finishing A Level PE in 2008. It will start as dog walks and pushchair walks, but I intend to do couch to 5k alongside it. I’m hoping to beat the 26 miles, but I need your generous donations to spur me on.
