Those of you who know me well know I dislike running. In fact, I actually hate it. Which is obviously why I often end up signing up for races which challenge, motivate and encourage me to run - aiming to raise a little bit of money for those less fortunate than myself. This year I'm running for the Big Issue North Trust - part of the Big Life Group. I work at an incredible school which is part of the Big Life Group and know that the work we do makes a huge difference to the lives of those we work with, right across the group. This is one extra way in which I can help those who need it the most.
