Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This page has been created by Alex, Nicole and Emily to help raise money for Diabetes UK. We are really hoping that we can raise this money by running the Great North Run Half Marathon on 9th September 2018. We work for EMIS Care who are a nationwide Diabetic Eye Screening provider, providing screening to the diabetic community, patient care is the heart of what we do so we are hoping the money raised will help those affected by Diabetes.

We started running in September 2017, where we started the app Couch to 5k, at this point we could barely run for even a minute at a time. For some reason we decided that this meant we would be able to run a half marathon one day and now this is ACTUALLY happening!! The reality of what we have signed up to do has now hit us so we have also signed up to do a 6 mile race to help towards the training.

Please donate whatever you can, no matter how small, your support will make sure that we cannot back out of this!

We will do this even though we are definitely 'Undertrained and Overconfident'
