The majority of you will be reading this and thinking he is completely crazy and I’m pretty sure we’ve been here before.....

Ten years ago in 2012, I decided to take the plunge and run* the Great North Run....... An olympic year, a huge challenge and running for a special person (who I miss like you wouldn’t believe)....... 2hours 53 minutes....... *I walked most of it........

In a few weeks, I am going again....... this time for another cause that is really close to my heart and has affected an extremely special person and a truly wonderful family. 

For those who don't know, my dear friend Sean (I call him my brother) was diagnosed with Encephalitis a few years ago and to say it has been life changing is an understatement.  I have seen first hand how this has affected Sean on a daily basis and I really want to raise both money and awareness for such an amazing cause.

So.... I'm going to attempt to run it this time..... to complete it in under 2 hours and 30 minutes and any support you are able to offer would just mean the absolute world........
