5 of us from our gym’s running club, The Ironside Running Club, are running the Great North Run for a fantastic charity. We don’t know when one day we might need the support and services from a charity like Dreams Come True.

None of us are natural born runners and only added running to our weekly fitness routine last year, starting with the couch to 5k. We carried on after finishing the programme and now run slowly but consistently, 3 times per wk (minimum). We saw The Great North run as a great challenge to work towards and raise money for a great cause while doing it.

We’ll post updates each wk on how our training is going so keep an eye on our page. And please donate whatever you can, every little helps.

Dreams Come True is a national charity that enriches the lives of children with a disability, serious illness or life-limiting condition by making their dreams come true.

It is the only UK wish granting charity that supports children living in the highest areas of deprivation.

Whether it’s a UK family getaway for a young cancer patient, a specially adapted trike for a child with cerebral palsy or a tablet to help an autistic teenager develop their communication skills, each dream brings moments of magic and has a lasting impact for years to come.

That is why your support means so much! By donating to my page and helping me to achieve my fundraising goal you will be helping to make more dreams come true for children who have it tough.
