On the 17th of March I'll be taking on my first attempt at the 26.2 mile race, around the city of Rome.
Call it a quarter life crisis or a poor decision made after a few beers, I'll be running this race for the tremendous Stand by Me charity.
The inevitable discomfort of running a race like this pales into insignificance when compared to the hardships that Children across the world still have to contend with.
So, please give as generously as you can. Those that can, please make up for those that can't.
You can see below what your generous donations can contribute towards and the genuine difference that this money will make.
It's time to face the music, wish me luck - Andiamo!
Stand by Me provides life-changing care to over 3,800 children living in poverty in 7 countries, from Colombia, to Ethiopia, to Myanmar. Through homes, schools and care centres, Stand by Me is meeting their individual needs from food and healthcare, to loving support and a quality education.
