Hello. Yes, I'm doing the Great North Run - again. It always seems like a good idea, until I'm about half-way round the course, and then there's not much I can do about it. But the main reason is to raise money for The Stroke Association. Strokes are cruel, indiscriminate and debilitating, but with the right care and help people can make amazing recoveries. 

Anything you can spare, whatever amount, will be hugely appreciated by me and by Stroke families. If you've supported me before - big thanks. And if you want to support me again, even bigger thanks. 

Love Helen
