Thank you for visiting my AJ Bell Great North Run 2026 fundraising page. I am taking on this amazing challenge for the National Autistic Society, the UK's largest autism charity supporting the 700,000 people and their families across the country.

The hugely popular half marathon starts in Newcastle city centre, over the iconic Tyne Bridge, with the swooping Red Arrows overhead and onwards to finish with the sea views in South Shields.

I am taking on this challenge because I am the parent of an autistic 7-year-old, and this cause is incredibly close to my heart. I see every day the difference that understanding, acceptance, and the right support can make—not just for autistic children, but for their families too. By running the Great North Run, I hope to raise awareness and funds to help ensure autistic people get the support they deserve to live happy, fulfilling lives.

Please donate what you can and please share my page if you can. Thank you!
