IF you spent most of this summer slumped on a sofa eating food with only Big Brother's Alex, Jade, Kate, Johnny and Spencer for company then, like me, your clothes might feel a little tighter than usual. Don't worry though now that Big Brother 3 is over you've got loads of time to shift any excess weight.

Why not start training with me for the Flora London Marathon 2003 in aid of Mencap, the UK's leading charity for children and adults with a learning disability?

Mencap provides you with all the training, advice and support you need to see you through the 26.2-mile run.

Mencap has guaranteed places in next year's marathon. You can secure your place with me on the start line by calling 0845 9777 779 for an application pack. Mencap can also gives you information about applying for a place through the London Marathon ballot. Go on you know you can do it!
