This year, I'm planning to run the Leeds Half Marathon, the Eccup 10 miler, Leeds 10k, Tough Mudder, Great North Run and Abbey Dash to rasie money for Sue Ryder.

I lost my Mum to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma 10 years ago, and I want to raise as much cash as possible for this charity, which aims to helps ease the impact of a terminal disease on the sufferers and their family. We certainly felt the effect of the great work that Sue Ryder does whilst we were losing Mum, and I want to give other families the chance to benefit from their work.

I'm not a natural runner, but I know that the pain I will feel as I plod along (for mile after mile) is nothing compared to the pain a sufferer of a terminal or life changing illness undergoes. So I reckon I'll grit my teeth and get on with it, if it means more money raised for this fantastic charity.

I've also roped my husband into the effort and my 7 year old into doing the Mini North Run for the same cause.

Thank you!
