In 100 days I'll be running my first marathon - the London Marathon - in memory of my mum, who we lost a few months ago to cancer. I'm fundraising for Macmillan Caring Locally, the charity that supported her hospice care and those with similar terminal illnesses. www.justgiving.com/page/matt-fa...
It is the same charity that also supported my dad's hospice care when he also died from cancer in 2014. I'm hoping to give something back. Any donation is hugely appreciated.

Was recently astonished to discover that a movie I watched didn’t feature Joaquin Phoenix, only to discover the existence of Michael Stuhlbarg.
I used to wonder that, then realised the conspiracy is that a lot of actors have doppelgängers who are also actors.
