Hello!  I am running the Great North Run for Shelter in September, beacuse Shelter work both in Newcastle and around the country changing the lives of the thousands of homeless people.   Many people walk past homeless people in the street and reckon any donation would be wasted, but giving to Shelter is a way to donate safe in the knowledge it is being used to its full potential.

I know you are pestered by sponsorship daily, but please give a few quid for all the times you have said 'No Thank You!' to the Big Issue!
