Story

In 2019 I took on the challenge of not eating meat for a month (No Meat March), during which I raised over £400 for this great charity & in honour of my Nanna who, as many know, is a long term sufferer of this horrible disease!

The challenge I am setting myself for 2020 is to run in 3 races! Taking into account I am not & never have been a runner, this is certainly a big challenge to set myself :-)

First up is the Blaydon Races, then the Great North 10K, finishing with the biggest & longest race, the Great North Run!

I am running officially for Dementia UK in the Great North Run & have tied the other 2 races in! Any money received will be greatly appreciated by both myself & this very important charity xx
