<div>In April I'll be running through the streets of Paris, gasping for air and on the brink of collapse. It's all for a good cause though - a charity for kids called Children North East.</div> <div>I've spent the last three months hauling myself around Newcastle to get in shape and now I'm hoping to raise as much cash as possible.</div> <div>So buckle up, because I'm going to be hounding you for cash. I like to think I'll be an online chugger. So dig deep and help me raise some money.</div> <div>Children North East help some of the region's most hard-up youngsters and kids on the brink of poverty. From rescuing those in the middle of violent relationships to providing shelter for those at risk of homelessness, the charity plays an important role for vulnerable kids across the region.</div>
