I started running in 2014 a year which I lost 7 stone and completed a 5k race with my son and my first 10k with my dad. In November 2014 I joined Sedgefield Harriers in 2015 I completed 9 half marathons one of which the GNR and running over 1200 miles. My challenge for 2016 is to run my first marathon in Manchester on 10th April 2016 run the 2016 GNR and a total of 1500 miles to raise money for Oasis Aquila Housing in Gateshead an amazing charity which I have been volunteering with since April 2013.
