Fundraising with Team Honk and Wayfair

Running is not my forte, as you may have worked out for yourself. There is precisely one time a year when I run, and that is when I crack out the PE lesson on long-distance running. Of course, all the 8 year olds floor a lap of the school field in about 10 seconds flat but I'm, well, not so good. There comes a time every two years where I challenge myself even further: The Sport Relief Mile.

The only photo I even have of me running is this old-school snap from 2012

In our school, it's a Sport Relief tradition for all children to run a mile. We've worked out that one lap of the field is a quarter mile, so each class takes it in turn to donate £1 per child and run around the field four times. Being the positive role model I am, I always join in. My first attempt was half a lap (yeah, that would be a whole eighth of a mile. Goals). In 2014, I managed one lap. This year, I'm going to continue my pattern of doubling and go for half a mile. 

I know, I know. I'm a selfless, inspiring, brave individual taking on a superhuman challenge. All jokes aside, it's for a great cause as Wayfair are supporting Team Honk this Sport Relief, encouraging bloggers to raise money to help people around the world. 

Next week, I'll be sharing how well I did on Twitter so keep an eye out and see if I finally manage that half mile. In the meantime, visit the Team Honk giving page to make a donation.
