Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Great North Run for People First because I
believe in what they do. They believe in, and actively seek to create, a
society where each and every individual is treated equally, fairly, and where
their rights, choices and beliefs are respected.

I’m lucky enough to work for this fantastic organisation and
I’m in awe of the great work that happens here and the vital service we
provide, day in and day out, to people with learning disabilities. Some of our
services include Advocacy, Research and Education, Representation and
Counselling. We listen to those who need to be heard, we empower people to have
their say, and we engage with services to increase awareness and improve
support.

By running the Great North Run for People First, I hope to not
only raise awareness of this fantastic charity but to also raise funds to
ensure that we can support more people for many years to come. I love running,
but I much prefer shorter distances, with 5K and 10K being my preferred
choices. Long distance running scares me a little but fundraising for a charity
so close to my heart means I will have no excuses to not do it!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and thank you
for your support 😊
