Great North Run

Wednesday 20th May

I never expected to be running a half marathon… mostly because I don’t actually enjoy running.


But after entering the Great North Run ballot on a whim, I somehow managed to get a place — which is both exciting and deeply annoying. So now I have no choice but to actually train for and run 13.1 miles!


I’m doing it to raise money for Parkinson’s, a charity very close to my heart after my mum’s diagnosis.


Any support, donations, or words of encouragement (especially when I’m questioning my life choices on training runs) would mean so much. Thank you ❤️
