By no means as impressive as Bolt's fire walking, but I'll be doing the Great North Run half marathon on Sunday.
I do a lot of running (anyone who sees my posts on facebook will know all about this!) but rarely do a sponsored event - this one, however, I'm running in aid of a charity called Get Kids Going! who provide mobility equipment for disabled children. As my nephew has cerebral palsy it seemed a good choice of charity to run for.
If you feel you could help in anyway, big or small, I have a Just Giving page set up
http://t.co/tN5dFefvoT
or you can even help by texting your donation; just text SNOB70 then a space then an amount e.g £1, to 70070 - although any amount is very gratefully received.

Thanks to the wonderful people who have already donated when I plugged this on facebook - if anyone here can help this worthy charity it would be very gratefully received :)
Cheers!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me - it's very much appreciated
