This will be my first attempt at running to South Shields, but not my first ever trip to the finish line - having previously supported my husband as the "bag lady and transport" and cycled there for fish and chips as a student! I'm raising money for a great charity called "Get Kids Going!" which gives disabled children and young people the wonderful opportunity of participating in sport.

I'd really appreciate any support you can give by donating through this page. It's simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to Get Kids Going and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. Thank you for your support, and lets hope the wind is behind me too! Kirstyx
