This Year I am running the Great North Run in aid of the Children's Heart Unit Fund.

This is a charity close to mine and my families heart after we lost a loving brother and son only 12 months after he was born. Ross was born with heart problems and after a year of being in and out of hospital sadly passed away a year later. All donations would go to a great cause and would be very much appreciated.

Chuf's mission is to make life better for children and young people who are born with or who develop heart conditions by providing lifelong support to them and their families. Chuf supports children who receive treatment at Freeman Hospital and many other hospitals throughout the North of England.

Any donation, large or small would be greatly appreciated towards this fantastic charity.
