Hi everyone! I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to be running the Great North Run for the very first time this September 7th, 2025, in support of Guide Dog Trust UK.

Guide Dog Trust UK provide life-changing support to people with sight loss, offering not only guide dogs but also practical and emotional support to help people live more independent lives. Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss. This number is set to double by 2050, which is why our work is more important than ever before, however, we can only continue our life-changing work, such as our guide and buddy dog services, mobility training, education support, sighted guides and much more with your support.

The work they do is absolutely inspiring, and I’m proud to be raising money for them.

The Great North run is one of the UK’s most iconic half marathons, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to take part in such a special event. Running this race is a personal challenge for me, and your support would mean the world. Whether it’s through a small donation or sharing my fundraising page, every little bit helps. The money we raise will directly go towards providing guide dogs, training, and essential support for those who need it most.

Thank you for considering supporting my run. Together, we can make a huge difference in the lives of people living with sight loss.
