I am running to raise money for CAFOD, a charity very close to my heart. CAFOD work with the world's poorest people, to try to create a fairer world.

I did the Great North Run last year, as a complete beginner to running. I was extremely nervous, doing it completely on my own but the atmosphere was incredible! So I'm back again! Last year, I raised £650 and I would love to smash that this year, so I'm aiming high!

Any donations are gratefully received and will definitely spur me on! I'm not fit, I won't finish quickly, but I will absolutely get across that finish line and with a huge smile on my face!

Wish me luck!
