I'm taking part in this years Bupa Great North Run to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care, in memory of my Grandma; who spent her last few days being looked after by the wonderful nurses at the Marie Curie hospice in Newcastle.

Please sponsor me and help Marie Curie Nurses provide free care to more people with terminal cancer and other illnesses in their own homes or in one of their hospices across the UK.

£20 provides 1 hour of Marie Curie nursing care, but whatever you can give will help terminally ill people and their families when they need it most.

Thank you very much for your support. It really means a lot.
