My Story

I'm running the Great North Run in aid of Mind

With poor mental health affecting multiple friends and family members and in some cases losing them, I am taking this opportunity to help raise awareness. Running and raising money for Mind will help more people with mental health problems get the support they need and the respect they deserve.

Having not been any type of runner since my teenage years (a LONG time ago), this isn't going to be an easy task so any donations and support is greatly appreciated.

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.
