I am taking part in the Great North Run to support St Barnabas Hospice who have lost around £2 million since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.Any money you can donate to support me with this challenge would be greatly appreciated. I took up running at the start of the pandemic, this being my first ever half marathon. I'm doing this run in memory of my wonderful mum, and family and friends I've lost, and as a thank you to St Barnabas for their fantastic support they gave me.
