Thanks for taking an interest in my JustGiving page and fundraising efforts!

I usually compete in one annual event to raise funds for Brysons, our local animal shelter in Gateshead. However this year, and in an effort to raise as many donations as possible, I will be competing in 1 race per month for 3 months until October, including my first ever GNR half marathon attempt.

In total, I will cover just under 26 miles and 40 obstacles, including Peaks of Pain, Human BBQ, Death Valley and Worm Muncher. My challenge begins in August with Total Warrior, in September i'm attempting my first ever half marathon, the Great North Run and in October my final event will be the Newcastle Stampede. I'm not a natural runner and actually hate running in public but I wanted to challenge myself out of my comfort zone and raise desperately needed funds for a charity close to my heart.

Anybody who knows me, will know how much of an animal lover I am. I support the work of Brysons as they continuously strive to make a difference to the lives of the animals in their care; keeping their tummies full, their bodies warm and helping to restore their faith in humanity. Brysons is an independent shelter and funds are always needed to ensure their exceptional work can continue, we're beyond grateful for any donation recieved and you really can see where every penny is spent
