Up to Day 8 of the 'Stride For Gaza' campaign raising much-needed help for Medical Aid For Palestinians.

I'm 71.2km in with £1130 in the kitty, so a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has thrown in a little hard-earned.

Much appreciated, folks x

The face of a man who just hobbled 1.8 painful kilometres for MAP as part of the 'Stride For Gaza' campaign.

It's my first attempt at running since slipping a disc last year.

If you can spare a little hard-earned then the l1nk is medicalaidforpalestinians.enthuse.com/pf/joe-solo

Thanks everyone x

Two dates in, and I'm having a blast.

Just being around folks reminds you that headlines are headlines and socials are socials, but people are far better off just talking and laughing and singing and grumbling and talking and laughing some more.

See you down the front x
