This year I’ve challenged myself to run the Eden Project half marathon on Sunday 19th October 2014 in aid of Children with Cancer UK. It’ll be my first race that I’ve taken part in (bar the 3km Santa Fun Run, that I ended up walking anyway!), as a novice runner. Around 3,600 children and young people
