Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year I made a New Years resoultion to lead a healthier lifestyle and slowly but surely I'm getting there. This year instead of setting myself a goal weight or giving anything up, I decided to set myself a challenge of running a half marathon and I've managed to secure a place in the 2013 Great North Run. 

I won't be setting any world records but the aim is to run the entire 13.1 miles (eeek). I've started training and I'm committed to putting in the best effort that I can and along the way I'd like to raise as much as I can for my chosen charity the NSPCC. As many of you know I work with children and this a charity which is dedicated to ending cruelty to children which unfortunately still affects many children in our country every day. 

So no matter how much you can spare please sponser me and I promise I'll have a smile on my face when I cross the finish line in South Shields.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
