On September 7th, I will be participating in the Great North Run. This will be my first ever half marathon. I will be running for the charity ‘Wishes 4 Kids’.

Sadly we do not have a magical cure for the suffering of these youngsters, however, we can bring a short period of respite. The time when a child has a wish granted is a moment that will be treasured by them for the rest of their life.

I want to play my part in giving these children a memory that lasts a life time as we all deserve that. No child should have to suffer, although we can not take that away, we can give them and their parents something to remember - a time when they forgot the suffering. There is nothing better than seeing a smile on a child's face.

You can help make a child’s dream come true with your donation. Thank you, I appreciate any donations.
