I'm going to be very cheeky and ask for sponsorship from you guys and girls........
I work for Admiral insurance and they are sending 8 of us to Kenya. 
To run a marathon. 
It's in the Lewa Reserve, near Mount Kenya. On the Equator.
It's a great privilege! Honest!
I've got 8 weeks to train - I'll be up to half marathon distance this weekend. Foreseeable problems are the temperature (35 degrees C last year), the altitude of over 5000ft, and the wild animals, including rhino, elephants, lion, leopard, cheetah. No worries!

I'm raising money for Tusk, a charity which specialises in integrating conservancy into the local community, alleviating poverty and addressing local issues. They have asked us all to raise at least £1000 in sponsorship, none of which goes towards paying my trip I'll hastily add.
I'd be massively honoured if you could consider sponsoring me via this web-page.

If you can also tick the Gift Aid box, Tusk will get more money.
Thank you all for even reading this.
