Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This will be the third time I have ran The Great North Run, 2017 and 2018. This time I have managed to get in on the ballot so I have decided to do it in aid of Motiv8.

As many of you will know Motiv8 has a very special place in my heart after saving me from the darkest depths of addiction and so I want to give back.

My first attempt the GNR was sub 2hrs and the second time was 2:20. This time I want to try and get as close to 1:30 or sub if I can. Training starts now!

Went for my first run in a long long time with Jen and it wasn’t so bad, I feel I can do this!

Please help me to get to my target and Motiv8 will be able to continue their life saving work!

The cost of a £2 coffee is all you need to spare. It all adds up. 👊🏻🧡✌🏼🏃🏻 Thank you 🫶🏻
