Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Providing I don’t get roped in for anything else this year, my last challenge of the year has been inspired by one of my oldest friends who has suffered from Arthritis for many years.  She recently told me my exploits had inspired her to do something she’d always wanted to do - a parachute jump.  At the same time she invited me to visit her later in the year and, as she lives in Newcastle, suggested that I might want to do the Great North Run at the same time. I thought this was a great idea as I’ve been wanting to do another half marathon for a while and thought it would be fantastic to do the run in aid of Arthritis Research UK.

Therefore, we've inspired each other which I think is pretty amazing!
