<p>I'm overweight and underfit but somehow I found myself signed up for the Great North Run on 18th September as part of Team Truck East. We are running for the charity 'Sense', which supports and campaigns for&nbsp;deafblind children and adults.</p> <p>Getting out and running was only hard for me because I've been lazy and greedy for too many years.&nbsp; But&nbsp;all it really took to get on the road was a cheap pair of trainers and a few smug phonecalls from Lauren about how many miles she had just run.</p> <p>For people with deafblindness just getting around the home, let alone the streets is a much greater challenge.&nbsp; This sense of isolation in addition to the dual-sensory loss itself can lead to people becoming increasingly withdrawn, depressed and isolated.&nbsp; Sense provide a range of support services, advice and accomodation so that&nbsp;with the right help, deafblind people can live fulfilling lives both at home and in the community.</p> <p>There are 9 of us in the team, including&nbsp;Lauren(LozBoz), Jenna (JezBez) and Ross (TheWhippet) and Graham (GozBozTheBossBoz )but we all need to raise a minimum of &pound;300 each so feel free to sponsor us individually to help us all reach our targets for this very worthy cause.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
