Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page supporting the MND Association.

I started running at the beginning of 2020 never expecting that I would achieve the "Couch to 5K" by the time we went into lockdown. What a challenge that was as I could only sustain a couple of minutes at the start! For those who know me, they know my feelings towards running is a love/hate kind of thing and I haven't quite got to the "enjoyment" part yet!

However, I felt a great sense of achievement, it is something I never ever envisaged being able to do and I kept it up and have taken part in a few 10k races since then.

Now, I am going to push and challenge myself by participating in my first half marathon. I am taking on The Great North Run 2024. I wish to use this opportunity to raise awareness and support for the MND Association.

My run will be dedicated to the memory of school friend Lee Newton who sadly succumbed to Motor Neurone Disease in 2017. Lee was an inspiration to us all...
