Hi everyone,

I decided to try and join the Great North Run this year to achieve a personal challenge, it's something I've been wanting to do for a while and thought there's no time like the present!

I was lucky enough to secure a place for the 16th May 2010 and this has given me an opportunity to raise money for 'The Christie' a charity I'm sure you'll agree deserves all our support.

The Christie are one of Europes leading cancer centres and treat 40,000 patients each year. All the money that I raise will help the charity pay for ground breaking research, new buildings so that they can treat more patients in better surroundings, the very best latest medical equipment, as well as those extra special services such as counselling and complementary therapies that help patients feel more comfortable and comforted.

So please take a few minutes to make a donation no matter how big or small,  all sponsors will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Lorraine X

Please note that there will be live coverage of the run on BBC Sport on the 16.05.2010,  look out for the person with the reddest face and that will be ME!!!!
