Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a reporter for the Sutton Coldfield Observer, the Great Midlands Fun Run is a huge event in my calender year and one which raises hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of money for local worthy causes.

Reporting from the finish line last year and speaking to participants about their reasons for running, the charities they were supporting and the funds they had raised inspired me to give it a go myself.

And so, with the help of Fitness First Personal Trainer Tom Penzer Adams, I will taking on the 8.5mile course on Sunday, June 2 to raise money for Diabetes UK - which funds vital research into a condition numerous members of my family suffer from.

Any donation you are able to make to help me on my way to raising £200 for this fantastic charity would be much appreciated. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
