This year, I’m taking on the Great North Run in memory of my amazing Nana, who had dementia.
My Nana meant so much to me. We were very close, she taught me so much throughout my life. She was deeply loved, is missed more than words can say. I’ll be carrying her memory with me through every mile. 💗
At the start of the year, 5K was the furthest I could manage, so taking on a half marathon once felt completely out of reach! Since then, I’ve joined These Girls Can Run, and they’ve helped me believe that I really can do this. They are such a supportive and encouraging group, I’ve made a wonderful group of friends who came into my life at exactly the right time, when I truly needed them. I've ran my furthest distance of 7 miles today! I've clocked up 25km this week- I'm so proud of myself!
Training for the Great North Run is a huge personal challenge, but knowing I’m doing it for my Nana will keep me going when it gets tough.
Any sponsorship, no matter how small, would mean the absolute world to me and help support such an important cause in her memory. Thank you so much for supporting me. 💗💗💗💗💗
