Yippeeeee, we did it!!!!! Yes we actually completed the Great North Run without one blister!
It was a fantastic day, with glorious sunshine and brilliant support from thousands of locals who lined the route.
We were offered biscuits and lollies and received many an unoffcial "shower" from kids squirting water from drinking bottles! All very welcome!! We finished the course in 3 hours and 35 minutes, slow but fun. The time just seemed to fly by.....as did the Red Arrows for about 20 minutes before our eyes!

A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored me and helped me SMASH my TARGET!!!!!
Thank you so much, I have been overwhelmed by all the words of encouragement and kind generosity.
Roll on 2010......you never know, we might be at the front running with Gordon Ramsay next year?!!!!? xx
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
My 43 year old sister Helen has leukodystrophy. She is receiving excellent care but there is no treatment for this terrible condition and she will gradually lose the little independence she has left.
The Myelin Project is one of only UK based charities that directly funds research into this devastating progressive neurological disease.
Although you all know I am incredibly unfit and on the wobbly side, I am running the Great North Run on the 20th September 2009 for Helen. Please give what you can and come to wave me on in Newcastle! I will need all the support I can get!!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The British Trust for The Myelin Project gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
A massive thank you for what ever you can give!
