Story

Cure Usher Syndrome raises funds for research into a cure for Usher syndrome, the leading cause of genetically inherited hearing and sight loss, affecting over 400,000 people worldwide. As a registered charity in England and Wales, number 1181293, they are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those impacted by this condition.

Hi there! I’m a stand-up comedian from Newcastle, and I never imagined I would find myself preparing to run the Great North Run on September 7th, 2025. Growing up in the North East, this event has always been a highlight of the year. Many friends have participated over the years to support incredible charities. After losing seven stone this year and starting my journey with 5k park runs, I felt inspired to take on this challenge.

The turning point came when an old school friend Laura Norton reached out for someone to represent her amazing charity, Cure Usher Syndrome. In that moment, I knew I had to step up and run for this vital cause. While I've always supported charities through gigs and donations in the past, this is my first time actively reaching out for support myself.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider donating to my run for Cure Usher Syndrome. My target is £500; however, my true goal is to raise as much as possible for this remarkable charity that does such important work. Please visit their site to learn more about their efforts and impact.

Thank you so much for visiting my page and for your generous support!
