Run Fatboy Run - My GNR 08 for Bowel Cancer UK blog

http://run-fatboy-run.blogspot.com/

After years of saying that one day I would tackle the Great North Run I have now finally signed up to do this years in October so people will be able to keep track at my blog.

It is going to be a challenge (especially as I haven't exactly looked after my body for the last few years) but I want to do this for personal reasons (family and work colleague) as well as to raise as much money as possible for Bowel Cancer UK.


I will try to update as much as possible on it over the future months as with the aid of my Nike+ system you will be able to see how much (or how little!) I have been training.


If however you are feeling generous please put your hand in your pocket and sponsor me to help raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. You can sponsor me by going to the following link

I am also looking into other ways I can raise funds for the charity such as a Celidh, Ball, Race night etc and any advice or support would be more than welcome.

Thanks
