Great North Run

I'm fundraising for...

I am running in the Great North Run 2026. My mum has suffered in pain with Arthritis for over 56 years now. So this run is for you mum. Please donate as much or as little as you can for this wonderful charity.
Over 10 million adults, young people and children live with arthritis. And yet, arthritis is still poorly understood and far too little is done. That’s why I’m fundraising for Arthritis UK – the leading arthritis charity, changing lives through research, campaigning and support.
