]]>This year, there are two charities I’m supporting:
- Fishermen’s Mission support deep sea fishermen – the guys who put food on your plate. It’s one of the toughest and most dangerous peacetime occupations, and one of their goals is to provide fishermen with a lightweight survival suit, so they can do their job safely. Here’s the sponsorship page.
- My second charity is the Stroke Association. I’m supporting them for close personal reasons. Here’s the sponsorship page.
I know that the proliferation of online giving means a lot of us get more requests for sponsorship each year, so I’m not doing a hard sell here, but they are both great causes and will make good use of your money.
On a lighter note, if you’d prefer to buy me a beer following the race, then send Hazel or me a text, and I’ll let you know where I am. Co-ordinating is always fun!
This year, I’m simplifying, and may well run without GPS watch or even my phone. You can track me by texting ‘run’ to 83040 [in the UK], and then you’ll get a link to the service. My runner number is 26793.

On Saturday, Hazel & I exchanged rings, and threw a great party with family and friends. It was a brilliant day, and here are a few photos by the professional photographer. There are LOTS more to come, shortly.
First, as I already have Google Latitude on my phone, I’ll be using that. If you have Google Maps on your mobile, add martinlittle@gmail.com and you’ll be able to see where I am on the route. You can also track via the web in iGoogle. All you need to do is sign up for a Google account and add me as a friend.
Secondly, as an avid user of Nokia Sports Tracker, I’m planning to live broadcast my route and running information (pace, time) as I go. You’ll be able to see my route on my profile page on Sunday (26th April) morning, after 9.30am BST.

 This year I’m running in support of Addison’s Disease. Sponsor page is over here, if you care to donate.

As a child I remember going to Woolworths and buying 7″ singles, tapes, CDs, sweets and Lego. More recently I went there to buy pens and all those other things I could never find around Edinburgh.
Goodbye, farewell.
