Update: Also now running the Great Manchester Run on 22/5/16. You can still use this page to sponsor me for either event!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started running in September 2015 and have continued ever since. I realise that this is good for me as it means that I'm getting fitter and happier, but why shouldn't it help other people too? The GNR is a big goal, and Teenage Cancer Trust is a great cause. 

I hope that in doing something that I enjoy, I can help bring valuable support to teenagers greatly in need of support. We can all have doubts and fears at the best of times, but for some this is made so much worse by tragic circumstances in what is already a vulnerable stage of life. Expert advice and support is needed to help these young people and TCT is focused specifically on this. I don't personally know anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer but we all know of people who have been affected by it and have seen its effects. The Great North Run is a great way of raising awareness and funds and I'm happy to be involved with such a worthwhile cause. 

I really appreciate any support and encouragement as I train and prepare to do my legs in for charity! Thanks for giving and I won't let you down!
