Welcome to my Great North Run 2023 profile page for Diabetes UK. I'm running towards a healthier me, and a better future for people living with diabetes. Support my challenge by hitting the donate button on my profile page.

I’ve been running for a couple of years now & an acquaintance set me the challenge of running the Great North Run. At the same time as I heard I had a place I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, so the conundrum of which charity to raise money for was solved.

My training is going well. I've run the distance 3 times now & felt comfortable at the end. I just need to work on my speed, but on the day a lot is going to depend on how soon I get into my stride.
