Bobbi asked me to 'step it up' this year, so not satisfied with me just running the Great North Run, she entered me for the Kielder Half Marathon - which looks a little more gruelling and a lot more serious..!

We've now raised over £13,500 for Tiny Lives in the 18 months since we said goodbye to our baby daughter Livia, and this continued support for the incredible work of all the staff at the RVI's Special Care Baby Unit is something we'd love you to help us continue.

So, on Sunday 11th September I will be running my second GNR, closely followed by Kielder on Sunday 2nd October. I am again honoured to be running for Tiny Lives - I know that the special memories we have of Livia will help to spur me on.

Please help me to continue our ongoing support for Tiny Lives and the SCBU at the RVI.
