Story

On Sunday 7th September, I’ll be pounding the pavements (and probably questioning my life choices) in the Great North Run—all 13.1 miles of it! Why? Because I’m raising funds for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, a brilliant charity that trains those incredible dogs who help people with sight loss live more independently. These four-legged heroes don’t just fetch sticks—they change lives.

So while I sweat, hobble, and possibly cry my way to the finish line, you can sit comfortably and support me with a donation. Every pound helps train a guide dog to become someone’s eyes—and trust me, they’re much better at it than I am at running. Help me make a difference (and give me a reason not to fake a hamstring injury halfway through). 🐾💛
