Some of you will know that I completed the Great North Run two years ago in 2010!

I damaged the tendon in my knee about half way around the course, but I still persevered and managed to complete the race!

This year I am determined to make a good time, and hope to complete the race in 1 hour 30 mins, as I have already been building up my running.

I would really appreciate any sponsorship, no matter how small, as Make A Wish Foundation do really great things by giving terminally ill children the chance to do something they dream of.

I think this is an extremely worthwhile cause because it gives these children an opportunity to enjoy the last moments of their life.
