On September 8th 2024 i will be taking part in the Great North Run half marathon across Newcastle and Gateshead.

I'm supporting Ruby's 'Live Kindly, Live Loudly' Fund at CCLG.

Ruby was 17 when she was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (a type of blood cancer). Up to that point, she'd been a happy and healthy 17 year old, bursting with life and full of ambition to go and change the world.  She was studying for her A levels and about to embark on her gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition - when all of a sudden she was catapulted into a world of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and months spent in hospital.   Ruby endured 10 months of intensive treatment, including a stem cell transplant. But the cancer proved too aggressive and relapsed in the form of leukaemia. Ruby died peacefully at home, in May 2020, aged 18.

Please help me to raise money for research into T-cell lymphoma and leukaemia in memory of 18-year-old Ruby Fuller.
