<p>I am setting myself the challenge of running this years Great North Run in under 1 hour 40 minutes, aiming to knock 20 minutes off my previous time.</p> <p>The reason I have chosen 'Dogs for the Disabled' as my nominated charity, is due to the inspiring work they do. They make a huge difference to some peoples lives. Alongside this, I also love dogs, and think it's brilliant that they are able to provide such happiness, and independence to people (whilst having a great time themselves!). To see some of the work they do, please follow the link below to read some inspirational stories.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dogsforthedisabled.org/what-we-do/success-stories/jacob-and-tom/">http://www.dogsforthedisabled.org/what-we-do/success-stories/jacob-and-tom/</a></p> <p>So if you also think this charity does some brilliant work, have been moved by any of the stories on their website or are a dog-lover (or all of the above!), then please donate to this great cause.</p> <p>A massive thanks to all of you that do in advance,&nbsp;</p> <p>Danny Berry.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
