This year I am finally jumping onto the running bandwagon and taking on my first ever running event, the Great North Run, raising funds for St John’s Ambulance, who do incredible work throughout the UK to save lives and promote first aid education.

I am both excited and scared to be taking on my biggest challenge ever and raising funds for an amazing charity in the process.

I am starting this journey from point zero and have never really ran like this before, so your support is greatly appreciated!
