I'm running The Great North Run in September 2017 in order to raise money for The Stroke Association. My Gran sadly passed away from a stroke in September of 2015, she was very active and into exercise, even though most of it was gardening. Therefore I thought doing something physically challenging would be a great way to honour her memory. I couldn't run for longer than 15 minutes before Christmas but have just managed to complete my first half marathon in 2:06:10 and therefore felt it was the perfect time to begin fundraising. I'm aiming to complete the distance in under 2:00:00, any extra motivation is greatly appreciated.
