I am really grateful of your donations and everytime I feel like stopping while running the Great North Run (and I am sure that will be quite regularly!), I will think of you all. By the way, it's a half marathon (I am only quantifying this as my sister thought I was doing all this training for a 5k!)

Love, Rachel x
