Bupa Great North Run 2012 · 16 September 2012 ·

Every day in the UK, another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke. The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families.

Story

I've decided to drag myself around the Great North Run.  Those of you that know me will know what a challenge this is going to be.  Not so long ago, running for 90 seconds was hard work and completing a half-marathon was just something that crazy people did.  However, since my mum died I've been trying to get myself into shape, I've lost over 5 stone (70 pounds US or 150kg) and I can now run for an hour - however at the speed I run I still have a long way to go before I can get from Newcastle to South Shields on foot and in the hours of daylight.

To give me some extra motivation, I would really appreciate it if you would be so kind as to donate some money to the Stroke Association as a way to guilt me into training that bit more and make sure I can't not make it round the course.

Thanks for your help.  I'll be sure to post back when I get round the course and let you know how I did.
