Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may have guessed I will be taking part in the Great North Run this year.

After putting it off throughout university and been at less than peak fitness now, why wouldn't this be a fantastic time to get involved and raise some money for charity!

With under four weeks to go at the time of writing I can assure you that whilst your donation will make a huge difference to Diabetes UK, you will also have the added bonus of knowing you have spurred me on and contributed to the pain I'll be in as I gangle my way around the 13.1 mile track.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
