Great North Run

I'm fundraising for...

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.

Why am I running the Great North Run

Wednesday 2nd Sep

This September, I’m taking on the Great North Run to raise money for Arthritis UK. Arthritis has affected members of my own family, and I’ve seen how the pain and stiffness it causes can make everyday activities much more difficult.

This is also a huge personal challenge. In May, I started from virtually zero fitness, so going from struggling to run to preparing for 13.1 miles has taken a lot of determination!

I’m hoping that every mile I run can help raise money and awareness for a condition that affects so many people.
