As the former Marketing & Fundraising Manager for At Home in the Community I thought I would set a good example (put my running shoes where my mouth is !?!) and raise money for a charity which supports people with learning disabilities.

I'm running the Great North Run on Sunday 16th September - as well as finishing off the Run Northumberland Series of races with a 10km run at Matfen on 14th October. I hope you will support me in this challenge I've set for myself in any encouraging way you can...!!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
