This year, I’ve decided to finally take the plunge and run the Great North Run . While I’m not the biggest fan of running, I feel this is the next big step out of my comfort zone to challenge myself! Along the way, I will be striving to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Cancer is a disease that affects almost all of us. Whether it be ourselves or a relative or close friend, we all know the pain of hearing that dreaded word. This is why I’ve chosen to support Macmillan; they do continuously great work in providing care and support during some of life’s toughest moments. I would love to raise as much money as possible for them.

I am also running this race in memory of my grandad, who I sadly lost to cancer. I remember how Macmillan was there for my whole family during that difficult time, offering comfort and guidance when we needed it most.
