Hi ya'll! I left it just long enough for everyone to (almost) recover from my marathon fundraising spam. This year I've decided to take it a bit easy and do half the distance in the Great North Run! I'll be running for the Charity I work for, Fare Share North East (which is a testament to how much I love my job, our cause, and my colleagues!). Any donation would mean the world to me, as it makes training that little bit less painful.
FareShare North East is a charity based in Newcastle upon Tyne that aims to fight hunger and tackle food waste.
In 2021, FareShare North East redistributed enough food for over 4 million meals. By delivering food to front-line community groups, it is estimated that over 34,000 people received vital food support through FareShare North East’s work.
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of good food are wasted by the UK food industry every year. At the same time, millions of people are struggling to afford to eat. FareShare North East's work addresses these two issues by redistributing food industry surplus, which would otherwise go to waste, to the people who need it most.

Thank you for helping FareShare North East and for playing a part in reducing food waste, and getting meals to people in need across the region
