Hello,

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

At durhamlane we have decided we want to give something back - and what better way than whilst motivating ourselves to keep fit.  In the words of my business partner, Lee, "healthy body, healthy mind, healthy business!"

As a team we're running the 2013 Great North Run together.  I am also warming up with the Great North 10K which takes place on Sunday 23rd June.  

I am aiming for under 50 minutes for the 10K and under 1 hour 55 for the 1/2 marathon - both stretch goals but fall into our recommended goal setting mantra of 'realistic yet ambitious'.

Anything you can spare will be greatly appreciated.  We are proud to be supporting a fantastic local charity, The Children's Foundation.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
