If you're reading this, it means you've clicked the link and taken time to read my fundraising story. Thank you.

Just over a year ago, my granny passed away after a spectacular fight against cancer of the oseophagus. In her final weeks, she was lucky enough to spend time in the wonderful St Nicholas Hospice.

At St Nich's, she received around the clock care from fantastic staff and a gigantic room to herself with view of the garden, where she could her beloved birds flutter throughout the day.

I cannot thank the Hospice enough for what they did for my granny, letting her go so gracefully and in peace. I would like to repay them by raising money by completeing the Great North Run.

As many of you know, I'm a natural born athlete, but this doesn't mean this half marathon won't be a massive challenge for me. The furthest I have run before is around 10K, so please support me by donating money to my terrific cause.

Thank you very much, I am very grateful.
