Run for Fun, for Charity, and for a Bacon Butty

Only a good cause would drag me from my Sunday bed at 6am - a cause like a Singaporean orphanage perhaps. 

When a friend forwarded me an invitation to attend a fun run (surely the most blatant oxymoron?) to raise money for an activity day for the children at Jamiyah Children’s Home I thought, "why not", especially when I heard there would be bacon butties afterwards.

A beautiful morning out at East Coast and the thought of an icy cold 100 Plus got me through a sweltering 8km run, and a bacon butty for breakfast never tasted so good!
