Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm raising money for WaterAid and before I rant on telling you to donate, I'd like to you consider how many times you've turned the tap on already today, flushed the toilet or simply helped yourself to a refreshing glass of water...

...probably more times that you can remember!!

80,000 litres of water will be consumed by the runners on the day of the Great North Run, yet 783 Million people worldwide do not have access to safe, clean drinking water. Something isn't right here and with your donation you can help to change this situation.

I'm running the Karrimor Great Trail Challenge in June which is a 11km hilly trail run in the Lake District and hopefuly this will keep my training on track for the main event in September - the Bupa Great North Run (22km!)
