I needed another challenge to get me back running and saw an advert offering places in the Great North Run, raising money for RAFA.

The RAF Association (RAFA)The RAF Association is dedicated to supporting serving and former RAF personnel and their families. Whether it's an injured airman fighting to get back onto his feet, a young daughter missing her parent away on overseas operations or a WWII veteran needing a shoulder to lean on, they are there to help.

Please dig deep and contribute what you can, RAFA do some great work.
