My Story

60,000 determined and dedicated runners one of them being me and my daughter 😂

The AJ Bell Great North Run the worlds biggest and best half marathon famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.

I have chosen to run for Stray Aid, animals have been a huge part of my life and always will.

At the moment all I seem to see on social media are vast numbers of animals being abandoned, just turned out onto the streets to defend for themselves, some abused some neglected.

There are of course some very sad genuine cases too.

Rescues/Charitys are all struggling for funds at the moment so I'm hoping I can make a little difference.

So look out for my daughter and I.

If you're unable to run and have to withdraw from the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run, you have the option to defer your 2024 AJ Bell Great North Place to the next year.  You can find more information here.
