I am thrilled to share my journey as I prepare for the Great North Run 2025, a half marathon that not only challenges me physically but also allows me to support a cause close to my heart: parkrun Global.

The parkrun community has been a beacon of hope and joy for my family, providing us with free weekly runs that foster connection, health, and happiness. It is more than just running; it is about building friendships and creating lasting memories in our local community.

As I lace up my running shoes for this incredible event on September 7, 2025, I am reaching out to you with an open heart. I aim to raise £250 to help ensure that parkrun can continue its mission of offering these invaluable experiences to everyone. Your support will make a significant difference in keeping this initiative alive and thriving.
