<p>Well, it's all over now for another year. Just imagine, there'll have been over 50,000 pairs of sore feet and aching knees on Monday morning, all over the country. I'll be back to do it all again next year, God willing.</p>
<p>If you're one of those who've donated, a big thankyou from me and the rest of the Macmillan team.</p>
<p>If this is is your first visit here, then please click on the "donate now" button. The race may be over for another year, but there are still people out there relying on Macmillan's support.</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>This year I'm running the Great North Run to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.</p>
<div><em>Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. We provide practical, medical, emotional and financial support and push for better cancer care. One in three of us will get cancer. Two million of us are living with it. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help. We are Macmillan. </em></div>
