I'm taking part in this years Great North Run in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, I have grown up watching this on tv and decided last year that I would take part this year. I never believed I would ever be capable of running this distance but my love of the area has helped to inspire me to keep up my training.
This is a huge personal achievement to me but I also want to try and raise some money for Macmillan, after all we have all had somebody close to us diagnosed with cancer and Macmillan provide such a great help to patients, families and carers so now its my turn to try and give something back.
Please help in any way you can, everything is greatly appreciated.
