Welcome to Roger on the Run!  This year sees the delayed 40th anniversary of the Great North Run, with modified arrangements to accommodate the current peculiar circumstances, but would you nonetheless please sponsor me online, as I take part to raise funds for Christian Aid?  All money raised (apart from a small admin. charge by Justgiving) goes to Christian Aid for their relief and development work: sums modest to us can make a huge difference elsewhere in the world.

Giving through this site is totally secure, simple and fast - certainly the most efficient way to sponsor me.   Christian Aid will receive your money quickly and, if you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving make sure that Gift Aid is reclaimed on your donation (25% extra at no extra cost to you).   Justgiving never pass on donors' details to others or send unwanted emails.

Your thoughts and prayers from about 11.45 am on Sunday 12 September will be appreciated, as I stagger along an amended 'there and back' 13.1-mile course which will take me twice over the Tyne Bridge, back through Newcastle city centre, ending next to the Town Moor on which I often had to run cross-country when at school 50 years ago!

With many thanks, and best wishes

Roger
