My Story

This year I'm taking on the Great North Run, raising funds for the National Deaf Children's Society. I've chosen this charity as it is close to our hearts due to our youngest daughter Elodie been diagnosed with a permanent mild to moderate hearing loss from birth in both ears.

The National Deaf Children’s Society provide support and services for children and young people suffering from hearing loss just like Elodie, and also guidance for families who are unsure with decisions and steps to take.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated ❤️

60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.

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.

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.
