If I make it back alive........
14 weeks since the last update - a lot has happened in that time. Too much to detail here.

The reason for posting today is to get your support for this coming weekend. I'm taking part, along with a friend of mine, in an event called the City Chase (http://www.citychase.com) an urban adventure race consisting of 6 hours running around London between "chase points" doing strange and interesting things.

Why - well, life needs the odd challenge and because we are raising money for our local YMCA to help them continue offering a free counceling service to people who really need help at difficult times - they have recently had their council funding cut back and the service is under threat.

You know me - I'm not an athlete (yet!), like good food and beer a little too much, so this is very much the "gentlemen adventure racers" using brain power and wits to survive the challenges. If I come back alive, I'll be glad :-)

We're getting off our bums to raise some money for a good cause - please help! Last year I ended up eating dog food just so we could finish. :-)

We'd really like your support - so please visit our just giving page to make a contribution, no matter how small. (http://www.justgiving.com/chase4ymca)

Thanks!
