Thousands of people turned up to take part in the British 10k London Run on Sunday, including yours truly, Lee Hayward.

The weather was perfect, sunshine all the way!  I managed to complete the run in 1hr 2mins.  My gorgeous girlfriend and handsome son were there cheering me across the finish line.

So far I’ve raised £297 online and roughly £200 offline.  Thank you to everyone who’s sponsored me so far.  Don’t forget I’m not stopping at The British 10k London Run.

My fundraising page will stay open until after the 2011 London Marathon, which I’m also taking part in.  Between now and then I’ll be training with various 5-10k runs and half Marathons.  Click here to make a donation.

I’m swapping my inline skates for a pair of Trainers next month.  On July 12th I’ll be taking part in The British 10k London Run.  I’ll be running on behalf of The Transplant Trust, a charity dedicated to raising awareness and educating the public about organ tissue donation for transplantation.  They also carry out research into all aspects of donation and transplantation, in order to improve outcomes and quality of life.

Please help me to raise £1,000 for this amazing charity via our Just Giving page here.
