My Story

I'm running the GNR for my good friends at Action Foundation. I've seen first hand the impressive work they deliver for clients and I know what a special organisation Action Foundation is. The Staff and volunteers all deliver invaluable services for the people engaging with all of the amazing projects. Their warm and welcoming nature is a true testament to their values. 

I want to run for Action Foundation and raise as many donations as possible, as i know it's going directly to a local charity are who helping people who need it most. 

This is my first GNR, but don't be fooled by the apperence i have been working hard throughout the year in my new found hobby of running,I'll be at the starting line ready to give it my all! 

Thank you so much for all of your donations.

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.
