Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Dianne and I, with the help of Dianne's husband Steve, completed the Great North Run last year as a personal challenge for which I have just been nominated for the BUPA Great North Run Award.

(Unfortunately I wont be able to attend the ceremory as I'm at Summer School in Salford! Hopefully Dianne and Steve will enjoy the night, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous.)

This year we have decided to do a re-run! and would like to ask you to help us raise money for the brilliant work Disability North does. Disability North is a local charity, here in Newcastle that aims to provide information and advice on all aspects of disability, promoting inclusion, independence and choice for disabled people. With a team of experts we offer specialist advice and support with benefits, Direct Payments, equipment & adaptations, Disability Discrimination issues, training and access audits. Visit our website for more details at www.disabilitynorth.org.uk
