I am now thirteen hours into my 24 hour fast. I’m starting to feel hungry, but it’s great to be getting the first stupid challenge under way. This week has been a bit slow. It started okay, on Saturday I did my first ever full marathon distance run. It was nice to know that I…
Oh what a week that was. I really feel like I’ve made progress this week. Things are starting to come together nicely. I’ve still not raised any actual money yet, but things are coming together nonetheless. The website is starting to take shape and some of the challenges and events I want to organise are…
I’m going to be attempting to run 1000 kilometres in 2016. You’d be forgiven for thinking that I am a keen runner, the thing is I don’t even like running. I mostly do it because my boxing coach always used to shout at me if I didn’t. I don’t like being shouted at either. I…
UNICEF have a challenge on their website called Fast 24 where they challenge people to fast for 24 hours. In some ways this doesn’t seem terribly long to me. On the other hand, I know it’s going to feel like ages while I’m doing it. I really like food. I’ve been known to walk into…

It’s called Little Miracles and they are a support group and charity for children that have autism, additional needs, disabilities and life limiting conditions. They’re based up in Ely and they reach out to Cambridge, Newmarket and surrounding villages too, so they are very much…
I don’t really feel that I have made a lot of progress towards raising £10,000 this week. I suppose part of that is down to it being the first week back at work after Christmas. I don’t feel as though I’ve done enough at work either. I more feel like I’ve got a head filled…
Oh dear. It’s Friday afternoon on January 1st and I woke up this morning with a little bit of a hangover. The hangover is the least of my worries. At around 4pm on December 31st I decided and rather publicly declared that I would spend a year trying raise £10,000 for charity. It seemed like…
