Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I must be crazy. Doing another Great North Run at my age ( 62 ). I have completed 9 GNR's and every time I drag myself across the finishing line I say to myself     " never again ".   But  I was a difficult television spectator last year when I wasnt able to take part because I missed out on the ballot.  I just wanted to be out there enjoying the geat buzz you get from this very special event. 

This year I have been lucky enough to get through the ballot and have decided to put myself through the pain barrier once again to help raise funds for Diabetes UK. This charity means a lot to me because my partner , Lyn , suffers from Type 2 Diabetes and it is not fun. The charity do such a magnificent job raising public awareness of this horrible disease and giving support and advice to sufferers  and carers.  So they are a very worthy cause to support in my opinion.
