On the eve of my second – and final – 20-mile run, I’m after a favour.

No, you don’t have to join me tomorrow morning (I’ve already got one mad fool promising to do that), but you may be able to help me reach another goal – raising crucial funds for St John Ambulance.

On Thursday, April 23, just three days before I run the London Marathon, I am holding a quiz night at The Victoria pub in Hitchin to do just that.

Victoria and the team have offered the use of their barn for free and have thrown in free meals for a raffle prize.

If anyone can do the same then please email nick.gill@thecomet.net or tweet @Journo_NickGill – it will be very much appreciated.

Now, for that 20 miles...
