This is going to be my first attempt at a half-marathon, and what better place than the Great North Run! I will be running on behalf of NU Foundation, who provide meaningful opportunities to improve the lives of thousands of children, teenagers, adults, families, and older generations. Through their education, sport, personal development, and wellbeing programmes, they help everyone to be more active, learn new skills and feel happier and healthier.

As part of Team Ryder, we have collectively pledged to raise £3000! Any and all donations toward this would be massively appreciated, thank you!
