I'm supporting Ruby's 'Live Kindly, Live Loudly' Fund – a Special Named Fund at CCLG. Please help me to raise money for research into T-cell lymphoma and leukaemia in memory of 18-year-old Ruby Fuller.

Ruby was a pupil at Dulwich Hamlet Junior School when I was a teacher there. I'm inspired by and in awe of the amazing fundraising by Ruby's family and friends, which is such a fitting tribute to an incredible young woman.

I'm hoping to smash my previous Great North Run time this year for this great cause, spurred on by your wonderful sponsorship!
