Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well, I am on the run again and have this time crazily decided to set myself the challenge of a half Marathon...the BUPA Great North Run, in fact, which not only means that all the other people running the race will get to see my panting, sweaty face but also all the folks at home who may catch a glimpse of it on TV too - eek!

Anyway, it's what I need to do to keep fit and healthy (and possibly wreck my feet!) and also to keep the old ticker going strong which is why I'd like to raise money for Heart Research UK who are a fabulous Leeds based charity raising awareness of heart disease and heart defects and funding research into both these areas.  They were also kind enough to let me work for them for 6 weeks on placement while I was at university and so I'd like to give something back and keep their good work going strong. 

If you'd like to give a little something my way for setting myself this unfeasibly large task (which it is for me, as I'm sure most of you know I'm not a natural exerciser!) I'd be very grateful indeedy.
