On the 19 September this year I’m doing the Great North Run! I’ll be raising money for The Newcastle Society for Blind People (see the link to the left for more information about this charity).

I’ve been running regularly, two or three times a week, for about a year now. I have, however, never run anything like as far as 13.1 miles, so it’s an exciting but a daunting prospect! I’m not aiming for a particular time; the goal is just to complete the race without breaking any bones or pulling any muscles!

If you would like to sponsor me, you can do so by clicking on the ‘donate’ button below, or of course by giving the money to me in person.  Any words of encouragement or training advice are also very gratefully received! Thank you! Kate x
