Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me:
Make-A-Wish Foundation UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Having never ran the GNR before, I am rather worried that it may be me that requires charity, before the end........ but fingers crossed. Having recently started training, I am under no illusions as to how difficult the task will be. For example a short run to the chippy yesterday, left me sweating like a fat lass in a sauna.

If you fancy coming to watch and/or take the piss, it all kicks off on October 1st in the hovel that is Newcastle.  If you wish to fit in with the locals, remember to wear a barcoded shirt that shows off your ample gut, drink some local beer called "Dog",  and of course do not wash for at least a week before the race

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

EDIT: 15/9

BTW I just knackered my knee training, so now I will have to run thru the pain barrier. Please sponsor me more as a result
