I must be mad, 20 years since I have had my trainers on and ran for 13 miles.

Katie my daughter, my good friend Lorraine and I have decided to "go for it" on the Great North Run and hopefully raise a significant amount of money towards a great charity "Diabetes UK". Diabetes has had a significant impact on family very close to all of us and the understanding and treatment available today has come along way in helping sufferers enjoy a normal lifestyle. The contributions towards Diabetes Uk will help.

My small contribution in running the event and the pain I may endure will last a few days but the inconvenience, the suffering and the potential problems for people with Diabetes lasts a lifetime.

So please help me raise my target and give as much or as little as you can. It all helps.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
