My daughter Lisa volunteered for DiA in India during 2010/11. The work that DiA and their partner organisations in India do is truly inspirational.

As a Scout Leader I recognise the importance of helping young people to understand global issues and appreciate the way they are both affected by and influence the World around them.

As a young person myself, I enjoyed running competitively but I haven't run in a race for 30 years!

I've just turned 50 and thought it might be a good idea to run a few 5K and 10K races during my 50th year. Therefore, I've set myself a target of 50K before the end of 2013 (50K, to match my age... clever eh).

My first event is the High Legh Robert Moffat Memorial 10k race on 3rd March 2013

I'm trying to raise as much money as possible to help this very worthy cause and would love you to help me.

Wish me luck!

Nick
