My Story

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. 

I'm proud to be joining #TeamARUK in the 2025 Great North Run! By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK and my fundraising, you’re helping to fund the life-changing research that will lead us to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for dementia.

I’m running in memory of John Pretlove, my Grandpa. An inspiration to many, generous and caring who's greatly missed. He lived an exceptional life and it was hard to see him change as he lived with Alzheimer's .

Thank you for your support and any donation would be greatly appreciated.
