Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Following a recent injury I will be doing the GNR on crutches this year to raise money for the North East Trust for Aphasia. I only have one week to prepare and have never used crutches before, so it’ll be a GNR like no other. For once my arms will probably be more sore than my legs..

NETA is a charity which aims to support people in the North East with aphasia and their families. NETA does this by funding the NETA Aphasia Support Centre, which offers long term support to people with aphasia, offering opportunities to take part in a variety of groups.

NETA also aims to raise awareness of aphasia in the general public as too few people understand what aphasia means.

Aphasia affects people’s language following a stroke or brain injury. This can have a profound effect on people’s lives as communication is central to so much of what we do. NETA supports people to develop communication strategies to achieve fulfilling communication!
