I'm running the Great North Run 2026
I’m running the Great North Run 2026 in support of the RNLI. This will be the furthest I’ve ever attempted to run.
As a coastal gal, the RNLI is a charity incredibly close to my heart. Watching the volunteer crews spring into action for call outs at all hours, and in all weathers, is a constant reminder of their incredible bravery and crucial role in our local community.
So, when I got a call asking me if I’d run the Great North Run to fundraise for them, the only answer I could give was yes!
Signing up with only 9 weeks to go, when most first timer training plans are 12 to 16 weeks, means this will not be fast or pretty, but every penny I raise will help the RNLI save lives at sea.
If you are able to sponsor me, thank you so much. Together we can help provide brave RNLI lifesavers with the equipment, kit and training that helps them launch to the rescue.
