My Story

About me 

Hi I'm Cat and thank you for taking a moment to check out my page for The GNR! I'm really excited to be running this year for such an amazing charity, that's very dear to my heart, with two of my very gorgeous friends Ailsa and Conor. 

So, why am I running ? A lot of you already know this about me, but when I was 18 I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (M.E./CFS), I was bed ridden for a year and struggled to even wash my hair without the help of my parents. Because of this, doctors told me it was unsafe for me to go to University and all my life plans pretty much crumbled. Since then, I graduated with both a 1st class honours degree and a masters degree. And I've dedicated my career within the arts to working with community groups, who might not always have access to theatre. Working towards building awareness for various different causes, promoting and striving towards a more accessible and equitable world and championing the voices of local people and celebrating what makes us different and unique and having fun while doing it. 

I'm very fortunate that I'm now in a position where my body might actually be able to handle a half marathon (fingers crossed) and this is something that 10 or even 5 years ago, would have been impossible. So, I'm really excited to use this opportunity to prove a point to myself, raise awareness for M.E./CFS AND raise vital funds for The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company, a charity I've had the joy of working for, for the past 4 years. Where everyday we're raising awareness and making beautiful work. 

The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company 

Our Vision

'A society that values  the diversity, creativity and citizenship of people with learning disabilities and autistic people.'

 

About us

60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes. 

The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together on the 7th September and support one another. Its magic can be hard to understand – until you have experienced it yourself. You’re guaranteed a running event like no other - and a finish line feeling you’ll never forget.

It's not all about the adults, the AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run gives the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
