My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some of you may recall that I said last year that this was going to be a one off event... well, I changed my mind. Some may also remember my dissapointment last year after being overtaken on the last stretch of the Great North Run by a man (or women...or old man or old women) in a full Scooby Do costume. This is something I have struggled to come to terms with so I thought I would have another go. The flip side is that it is all for a good cause, Action Heart. As well as a great charity, I also consider it as an investment just in case I need rehabilitation after the race, although I guess it wouldn't be great for the charity's PR if I did have heart failure during the course of the race.Thank you for your contributions and for those of you last year (who I conned into thinking it was a one off) who were so generous. With your help, we can kick Scoobies ass.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
