Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Great North run will be a little different this year  with a new route and staggered start times but is it still a half marathon in the North East and its going to be a pretty tough one too. The race will now start and finish in Newcastle with runners crossing the Tyne Bridge twice and I’m looking forward to taking on this challenging course to help raise much needed funds from the SMS Foundation.

The Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) Foundation is a small UK registered charity that supports families like ours, who have children of all ages, with Smith-Magenis Syndrome and provides information for professionals working with these families.

Your donation will help them to ensure every person with Smith-Magenis Syndrome shall have a fulfilling life within a supportive and understanding community. The Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) Foundation UK is at the heart of our community. They will be the first point of contact for those seeking information and support. Nobody should ever feel isolated or alone. They value every person affected by this genetic disorder and shall empower them to reach their full potential as respected members of society.
