Fundraising for North East Autism Society
Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
#unfittofitin130days
On Sunday 3rd May I ran the Sunderland 10k (my first ever 10k). The weather was horrendous, winds and driving rain which made the route extremely challenging, both mentally and physically. Having only ever trained indoors on a treadmill, and not to any great extent, it's made me realise I am SO unfit and has spurred me to take action!
For those of you who know me well, I last did the GNR in 2010 (well, it's the one and only time I've done the GNR and it was the start and end of my running career to be fair!!) and at the end I didn't know which part of me hurt the most! So I'm back in 2015, 5 years older and not so wiser, to take on the challenge again. I'll keep you informed of my progress! Who knows, I could even be running the London marathon next year!

So the reason why I'm doing this, is not just to get fit but to raise funds for the North East Autism Society and raise awareness of autism. It's a charity close to my heart, not only because I happen to work there, but because in the last 2 years I have had the privilege to meet and work with some of the most amazing people.
I'm so grateful for your sponsorship, be it £1 or £10, every £ raised will help to provide vital therapy support sessions and toddler group sessions for individuals and their parents / carers throughout the North East region. As it's the Charity's 35th anniversary this year it would be fabulous if I can achieve my target of £150. Thank you, your support is hugely appreciated.
