A while back Charli came to visit me and helped me on my last training run before the Sheffield Half Marathon. She enjoyed running through the beautiful parks of Sheffield so much that she decided we shoud run along the not so beautiful dual carriageways of Gateshead & South Shields and that we shoud support the RNLI in doing so - very fitting given that if we run too fast and aren't paying attention we may end up in the sea! In the UK you are never more than 70miles from the sea so you never know when you may just need resucing by these amazing people. They are entirely dependent upon donations to provide their invaluable service so please help me to raise some essential funds for them.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now either online or by sending me a cheque made payable to the RNLI.

Many thanks x
