In September, I will be taking on the Great North Run and supporting Winston's Wish.

This will be my Running With Dad part 2

I began running last year in the hope to raise money for Winston’s Wish a charity which supports grieving children .

I trained up and completed the Great Manchester 10k in May and have stepped up to the challenge of running this iconic half marathon .

Dad was a runner and as a child I ran with him on his training nights. He was killed in 1981 when I was 9 . All these years later learning to run has been such a wonderful therapy and has brought me so close to dad again.

Dad will be in my heart as I run this race for us both and the grieving children that need support.

Winston's Wish is an amazing charity who support children and young people up to the age of 25 after the death of someone important in their life.

If you are able, please donate to help me make a difference.

Thank you.
