As Charlotte and I have two daughters with Myotonic Dystrophy, which is a form of Muscular Dystrophy, we regularly send Christmas cards and have updates from Muscular Dystrophy UK. In 2019 when MDUK emailed me to tell me about the Town and Gown 10k runs that they organise, it seemed the ideal way to push myself to a better level of fitness, and also to help raise money for this excellent charity. So since then I have done their 10k twice, once in Cambridge, and last year a virtual one, raising nearly £1000 thanks to the generosity of friends and family. Not easy for me, as my more regular distance is 5km, and I have to admit to not being the most athletic of people!!!! This year, on the 16th October, I will be running the Town and Gown 10k back in Cambridge and hope to raise a little bit of money in doing so. I'm not pushing hard for donations this year, as people have already been so generous in the past, but if you would like to contribute to this noble cause, we'd be very grateful.
