So when September rolls around I will be pounding the streets of Newcastle to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The Great North Run is a half-marathon which in basic terms means I have to run more than 13 miles without sitting down for snooze. Cancer Research is a fantastic charity that carries out groudbreaking research that has saved many lives.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

So please be super generous and hit donate now.
