This is going to be the last year when I will be doing the Great North Run, as the old bones are beginning to cry out in protest! I have been amazed at everyone's generosity over the past two years and do so hope that this final year will be a bumper one for raising funds for Spinal Research, whose aims are very close to my heart.

Spinal Research is such a worthwhile charity, giving hope of improvement to the quality of life for the thousands, like Will, with a spinal injury

Every year more than 800 people in the and are paralysed following an injury to their spinal cord. Spinal Research raises money to fund research into clinical treatments as well as vital scientific studies. Thanks to such pioneering research, paralysis can potentially be treated and we now stand on the brink of applying therapies which will transform the lives of paralysed people by restoring movement and feeling.

Spinal Research brings hope to the thousands living with spinal cord injury and so please, please, please sponsor me to run again. I would be grateful for any donation, no matter how big or small.

Thank you so much,

Sally
