Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Running in the Great North Run has been something I've wanted to do for many years and this year I finally get the chance to do it. As well as fulfilling a personal ambition of mine I wanted to use it as an opportunity to raise some money for charity too. 

I've chosen to raise money for the British Thyroid Foundation (BTF), which provides information and support to people with a range of thyroid related conditions. Thyroid disorders affect 1 in 20 people in the UK, but these doesn't get nearly the same attention or research funding as some other medical conditions, which is partly why I felt I wanted to support the BTF.

There are very many worthwhile causes and I know people that have done amazing things raising funds for charity, but if you could spare a few quid to sponsor me so I can raise a bit of money for the BTF that would be great.

Cheers

Chris
