Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know I’m new to this running lark (a statement I would never even of thought I’d ever type unless I was having a laugh).  I’m so scared and yet excited about this challenge.  I starting the NHS couch to 5K on 19th July 2015, and I had been firmly on that couch, the following month I joined ‘These Girls Can Run’  TGCR and have not looked back.  This fantastic group has made be believe I am capable of running the Great North Run, something that still doesn’t seem real –ask me again on 12 September if it was a good idea!

I’m hoping to raise as much as possible for a local charity in North Shields, the YMCA. It’s scary how close everyone is to becoming homeless if they have a run of bad luck. Please take some time to look at the work they do by visiting their website http://ymcanorthtyneside.org/ 

Thank you so much
