Programme Development Officer Ash Abili is shortly to begin a training regime so that he can get into shape for the London 10k Run on the 1st July.

Commenting on the race, Ash says that it will be the first time he has ever undertaken a long distance race, but he is quietly confident that a few extra minutes spent jogging each day will help prepare him for the feat.

Ash has set himself a large target for fundraising but is hoping that he will attract a number of donations in the weeks leading up to the big day. If you would like to help him reach his target, please have a look at his Just Giving page and pledge whatever you can.
