The fundraising is for the Stella Rogers appeal (Charity Registration No. 1113954), who at just 17 months, was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as Neuroblastoma MYC-N amplified (high risk).  An expensive antibody therapy only available in the USA, costing a massive £250,000 upwards, could increase her chances of survival to 80%.

To keep track of distances run James is using the free GPS mobile app SportyPal.com, giving feedback on running times, distance, vertical climb and route maps.

To sponsor James you can visit his Just Giving page here and for more information of the Stella Appeal, please visit the website here.

Event Date: Saturday 19th June 2010

Event Details: The Sumo Run is an annual 5km charity fun run around Battersea Park, London, in Inflatable Sumo Suits.  The Sumo-Run takes place in the picturesque Battersea Park, London. Rather fittingly, the park is home to the famous Japanese Peace Pagoda, most of which was built by Nichidatsu Fujii (1885-1985) a Buddhist Monk from Japan.  It’s a nice, green, flat, 5km (That’s about 3 miles for you non-metric folks).  Registration is £25 before 1st April and £30 after that date per person. This money covers the cost of the Sumo Suit (which you get to keep!) its postage, an information pack, a fundrasing guide and the charity’s administration costs. The registration fee is nonrefundable, however, 100% of this money goes to the charity and once it is paid your place in the event is guaranteed. Yay!

Charity: Gemin-i is an educational charity helping children around the world share ideas and work together for a brighter future.

How to get Involved: Visit the website for more information and registration details, www.sumorun.com.

Event Date: 19th – 21st March 2010

Event Details: Sport Relief is back, and this time the whole of the UK will come together to get active, raise cash and change lives.

It has a unique history of dedicated people doing extraordinary things to make a difference – from David Walliams’ swim across the English Channel, to Eddie Izzard’s amazing marathon a day around the UK.

There’s no better way to rise to the challenge than by entering the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile.

It’s all set to be bigger and better than ever before, with 16 fantastic Flagship Miles and hundreds of other Mile events taking place across the UK on Sunday 21st March.

You can even choose how far you go – 1, 3, or 6 miles – whichever’s a challenge for you.

And the really amazing bit is that all the money you raise by getting sponsored will make the world of difference to people leading really tough lives both here in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.

So what are you waiting for?
