Story

Hi, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So... I said I'd do the Great North Run before I was 30.  That ship sailed a long time ago.  I figured I should really do it before I was 40.  Then I realised that meant I'd have to do it this year.  Ulp.

So many amazing charities to choose from, but I've decided to contribute my time on the road in aid of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, in memory of Sue Charlton, a very dear friend who suddenly passed away in October of last year.

Her husband, Matt, set up a JustGiving page for Make-a-Wish which went, well, astronomical.  I decided to help add to that total as they do fantastic work, bringing a ray of sunshine into the lives of those who really do need it.
