Against my better judgement I have been persuaded to do the Great North Run by the wonderful Susan Barker. We're also doing the York 10K as a warm up(?!) I'm running (well hopefully running) for the Teenage Cancer Trust who are an amazing charity  I came across them when they supported a student at John Lyon who was diagnosed during my time there. The charity was brilliant for him and he became a huge source of inspiration for the other students. 

This is a big personal challenge for me and frankly I have no idea whether I'll be able to run it but I will get round! Please help my training by sponsoring me and giving me no get out! I've struggled with a bad hip during training but I'm determined to do what I can. It won't be pretty - or anything but snails pace!
