When I was younger I trained with my Aunty and dad for the run and in 2017, when I was 8, I won the mini great north run.

After that running became a hobby and a sport that I always felt I had a place with. I haven’t been running much for the last few years but have started again and doing the GNR is a great way to keep me motivated – that and beating my Dad and Aunty!

Any money donated will be given to the Gateshead Health charity. My nanna received excellent treatment at the hospital before she passed away and my Mum works there and tells me all the time how great it is.

The charity needs our help to support the brilliant care given every day by all the amazing people who work there. Thanks
