About

I first 'ran' the Great North Run 14 years ago and picked up an injury in mile 2 - I finished, but it was a very painful experience! This time I have started training much earlier and aim to run in under 2.5hours. It is a serious challenge for me but one that I am excited to take on. North Yorkshire Sport are a charity that aim to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people through engagement with physical activity and sport. In tackling this huge challenge, I hope in some way to inspire the children in our school communities to take part in physical activity and their own future challenges. Physical activity can make a positive difference to mental health and well-being and I hope this can inspire others in their own journey as many found the pandemic so challenging. Thank you for your support, Matt
