I’m a Twit..ter….er???

I have succumbed to the pressure of online social networking. It is true, I no longer have real friends, only pretend friends, on the Interweb, who live in their mums back bedroom and have posters of Power Rangers on their walls.

Yes, Love From Henry is now a Twitter-er (is that the right name?).

You can see me on Twitter @LoveFromHenry and follow some words of inspired wisdom and comment on the state of Pediatric brain tumours and the research in the UK and the world.

There are a number of other charities doing similar things in  this area and I have tried to follow as many of these as possible. The more people that look at this terrible lack of funding and research (<1% of all charity funding by the government is in brain tumours, yet 24% of all cancer is in the brain)

So, follow me, invite your friends to follow me and spread the word.

Cheers and thanks for reading

The torture has arrived

OK, so someone told me that it would be a good idea to get fitter for this challenge. All I can say is…. WHY DID I LISTEN !!!!!!!???????!!!!!!

A very kind offer by Ben at Sussex BootCamp has led me to leaving home at 5:30am to be tortured by a sadist at Horsham Park 3 times a week. Why would I do this to myself? Well, at least the pain (and there is pain!) will pay off in about 4 weeks time when I will be fitter, healthier and better able to cope with the challenge ahead.

It has started to dawn on me how hard this could be. 80km per day, each day….. OK, so not as hard as an Olympic sport maybe…. not as hard as childbirth (yeah, how hard can that be? half the population can do that without even trying !!!)

Before I get attacked by every female on the planet, all I can say in my defence is, I am only a man after all…. everything is difficult!
