I am taking part in the Great North Run 2019 to raise funds for The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that rebuilds confidence after cancer, using sailing to support, empower and inspire young people between the ages of 8-24 in embracing their future with optimism.

The trust has taken me on three sailing trips after my treatment for leukaemia a few years ago. These trips have helped me to overcome the physical and emotional challenges of recovering from cancer. I have gained new skills and made long term friendships. The experience has given me a huge boost and made me look to the future in a positive way.

I would like to raise money to enable other young people to have the same opportunity that I have had.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
