My Story

This will be my fourth great north run but it's been 6 years since my last run and IV been training since January. It's not been easy, my legs know I'm not in my 20s anymore, but I'll be happy to finish and I'm proud to raise money for red sky foundation and to help them do their amazing work with the children's heart unit as well as their work in the community.

Thank you for your donations and your support.

We’ll see runners back on the AJ Bell Great North Run, city to sea course, on Sunday as we return to our traditional finish line in South Shields. The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together and support one another.
