Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

This year was due to be my 11th Great North Run in which I was going to get sponsorship for the Sir Bobby Foundation.

(ref SBR/0000003217/0000000724). 

As the event has been cancelled I didn't want the opportunity to raise money for this fantastic charity to disappear, especially as I feel this year in particular cancer charities may be suffering due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

So instead I am inventing 10 'socially distant' half marathons to complete before the end of 2020. They will be in different parts of the country and vary greatly in terrain, difficulty and views! 

It would be fantastic if you could support me to raise money for this charity. We all know people who have been affected by cancer and recently I'm sad to say it's having devastating effects on some people very close to me.

So if you want to support, there's at least two ways to do it. The obvious one, sponsor me! And/or please join me on one or part of one of the runs. I'll be updating the page to let you all know where I'm going and when, so come and join the fun!

I have already decided I will use Thrunton Woods, the Lake District, Co Durham and of course Newcastle!

Many thanks in advance, I'll keep you posted!
