This will be my 33rd Great North Run & I am honoured to be one of only 5 women and 107 men who have completed every Run. However this year, for the first time in over 20 years, I will not be carying a collecting bucket for my charity due to an ongoing shoulder injury. I usually collect over £200 along the route so my contribution this year will be significantly less than usual. I am therefore asking for sponsorship (which I don't often do for the GNR) and hope that you will support me in this. No collecting bucket means no excuse for a really slow time..which is worrying! Last year I was happy to get just under 4 hours. This year I hope to do much better - even though I am now nearer 70 than 60 & my knee is playing up! To encourage myself I will sponsor me for £1 for every minute over 3 hours and £2 per minute over 3 1/2  hours. Obviously I won't be expecting anyone else to do this!! By the way, I will still be wearing my old Minnie Mouse outfit. If you are able to help, thank you.
