I'm running the Great North Run next Sunday!

I have been training hard all year, and did the Milton Keynes May half marathon as part of my training. I've done many miles this year and gone through two pairs of trainers! Before the May half, I hadn't ran a half marathon since before I had the boys and has been 13 years since I last ran the GNR. Although I am older (and slower!) I am determined to enjoy every step, including the hills.

I have selected a really important local charity to support. MK ACT is a charity in Milton Keynes which works with over 100 families’ every day to help them move on from fear and abuse. They have been providing safe emergency accommodation in Milton Keynes for people and their children escaping domestic violence for over 45 years.

Thank you in advance for your sponsorship, if together we can raise money to support such an important charity it will make all the difference!
