Hello everyone!

I’m taking on an exciting challenge and a difficult one for me – running The Great North Run 2026! My mission is simple: to raise funds and awareness for a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart.

The Great North Air Ambulance Services is the reason I'm still here today, after a terrible road traffic accident in October 2019. I sustained a traumatic brain injury, broken spine, pelvis and ribs, which punctured my lung.

After going through a rigorous course of rehab, learning to walk, talk and do everything again at the age of 21, people are shocked to believe what I have been through and to look at me now and think I look normal.

Watching The Great North Run in 2025 has made me want to step up to the challenge. I want to make a difference after just recently finishing rehab, after 5 long years, and I'm aiming to do it under 2 hours. I will fight through the pain and fatigue I will face during the event, just as I face it in regular daily living.

If I can hit my fundraising target in the time frame before The Great North Run 2026, I will add 50% of the target (£1,000) on top of that for the Great North Air Ambulance Services.

This amazing charity provides a life-saving helicopter emergency service, delivering rapid medical care to people in critical need across the North of England. Every day, they save lives, and their work is truly extraordinary.

I need your support! Whether it’s a donation, a share, or a simple word of encouragement, every little bit helps. Your contribution can make a real difference in someone’s life, and together, we can ensure GNAAS continues to provide its vital services to those who need it the most.

Thank you so much for your support!
