Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So it's been a while since my last challenge and therefore time to take on the largest and most iconic half marathon there is (again). Obviously I mean the Great North Run!!!! As much as I am looking froward to running across the Tyne bridge, seeing the red arrows overhead, and of course the fish and chips at the coast after, I am also excited to support a charity as fantastic as Alzheimer's Research UK. Over the past few years the pandemic has really impacted the funding received by charities such as ARUK, and as a researcher I have seen first hand how important it is to study the neurodegenerative diseases that cause dementia! Funding more research will ultimately help us answer more questions and lead to the breakthroughs we desperately need to help us defeat dementia!

Training is going well with the exception of last week, where being the clumsy person I am, managed to trip over my own feet and badly scape my knee like a toddler, it's a good job there hasn't been a heatwave and the desire to wear skirts and dresses, oh wait...   

Just to try and keep it short and sweet, any pennies you can donate to support ARUK and our fight against dementia is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading
