Wonderful news Jo, I’m over the moon! What fantastic fun it will be training beside you too. Thanks for coming on my show today, you are a star and doing such great work for the Foundation Trust.

Do let me know when you’ve set up your charity fundraising page and we can get to work spreading the word and shifting more lard! LOLOL…

Who are you going to do it for, have you decided yet?

Respectfully yours,

PS: Overjoyed might I add…

I have just agreed to do the Great North Swim with you! I have great faith that it will be enormous fun, and we will both raise huge amounts of cash for charity – must get onto the website to book myself in before I chicken out! It will be great, and we can have a bit of fun practising too – think we should get the OB team out to comment on our progress??!!

I’m half a stone lighter (since before Christmas) and am quite enjoying the focus. I have 4 other people I know doing it, so we have a bit of moral support too.

I’m knocking together a little blogsite for it, so you’ll be able to follow the progress – I’ll announce it on here soon…

Rubbishly yours,

TS xx

Great to see another new face in the comments boxes and I’m delighted to hear you’ve been inspired to do somethiing too…..truth be told, I’m dead anxious, but I’m determined to go for it and am already enjoying being a bit more food conscious….no norty chocolate nibbles whilst on air today….in fact, I’ve just had a delicious banana which has filled me up a treat.

Being good, being good.

Tell us more about your 10k run and well done mate, good for you!!!

Rubbishly yours,

What an inspiration. What a great way to get something amazing acheived, by setting a realistic goal and for so many good reason. A winner all the way.
I have decided to do a local 10k run on the back of seeing this Oooer.

It’s funny, but I had a shot of fear run through me when I saw that YouTube film, but actually, am still up for it….I’ll probably be the last one over the line but really am not bovered!

I think I might have to put something funky on my swimin’ cap so you can easily identify me when the BBC News do late night coverage, with search lamps, looking for useless stragglers to feed to the St John’s Ambulance Team…

I was thinking of giving up wispers and drinking an extra glass of water….
