Great North Run

I'm fundraising for...

The 10 million people who are dealing with arthritis in the UK, including myself!! From being diagnosed at 8 years old, I’ve now spent the majority of my life finding new ways to deal with my arthritis, through countless treatments, surgery’s and medications. 

I’m finally on a new course of chemotherapy infusions which allow me the freedom to be able to take on challenges such as the GNR and that is something I will never take for granted. I’ve experienced countless flare ups over the years where I couldn’t so much as stand, so to be able to do this on the behalf of those who are still struggling is something  I will be endlessly grateful for.

Great North Run 2025

Monday 8th Sep
Hello! 

After running the Great North Run for the very first time this year and seeing how much I was able to raise throughout the run up and getting across that finishing line, I knew I had to sign up again for next year!

Im so excited to take it on again next year, with a lot more training and knowledge before I’m back to the start line in 2026 <3
