Hi, my name is Judith, I am 45 years old and have never done any running before this year. I got involved with the Great North Run through my brother. My training is going quite well and this weekend managed  10.6 miles in 1 hour and 46 mins. Last week I ran 7 miles in 1 hour and 11 mins. We only have 1 1/2 weeks to go when I will have to complete 13 miles through the streets of Newcastle out to Southshields.

I am running for the Just Children Foundation. This is a christian charity which raises money of the street children in Zimbawa. The foundation provide shelters for the children to give them a brighter future.

I hope that you will sponsor me so that we can help these children who are in need of our help.

Thanks Judith
