So it’s been almost a year since I reared my ugly head on here so I thought now was a good time to resurface! My running may have lapsed and our fundraising target for the British Liver Trust has (for now) been reached- this time I’m asking you to have a conversation which may not… Continue reading #WordsSaveLives
Great North Run 2017
So yesterday was THE DAY. And what a day it was! On the Metro on the way to the start line, I genuinely thought I was going to be sick with nerves! Admittedly I was worrying about a lot of things: had I trained enough, would any previous injuries flare up, would I… Continue reading Great North Run 2017
In memory of Joseph
Currently sitting in a caravan in Whitley Bay having been out to Newcastle for the day to have lunch with an old friend, to see the Great North City games and the Junior Great North Run and had a walk out to St Mary’s lighthouse. Now it’s a waiting game till we get on the… Continue reading In memory of Joseph
Things we shared….
As the Great North Run gets closer and we are now only £150 away from our £1000 fundraising target, I’ve found myself reflecting on Joseph and the things we had in common. When I was younger, I was HUGELY scared of loud noises so my mum thought it was a good idea for me to… Continue reading Things we shared….
A liver-ly weekend!
So I promised this blog a week ago but it’s been a bit of hectic week so apologies for the late post! Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with CLDF (Children’s Liver Disease Foundation- see previous post on my final year uni placement with the charity). This was their Weekender event… Continue reading A liver-ly weekend!
A few successes to share…

A whole lot of learning!
Apologies for my lack of blog posts recently, I have been busy writing my final ever piece of work for uni, then the dreaded job hunt started and I had to have a week off running after having routine physio (my physiotherapist is very strict, haha!) yet you’ll be happy to know my proper training… Continue reading A whole lot of learning!
Beautiful sunshine or sweltering heat?
If you’d spoken to me yesterday I would have told you that I sat in the beautiful sunshine during my lunch hour. If you speak to me today I’ll tell you how I went for a training run in the sweltering heat!! I left the flat at 8.30am thinking it’d be cooler-I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN… Continue reading Beautiful sunshine or sweltering heat?
Today’s an important day…
Today’s an important day. Today is 14th May. Today is my oldest brother and running/fundraising partner’s 38th birthday (Happy Birthday Liam!!). Today is the day our Lasting Tribute page goes live to raise funds for the British Liver Trust because today would have also been Joseph’s 38th birthday too. Yes Liam and Joseph were technically… Continue reading Today’s an important day…
A little surprised…
It’s been a week of mixed emotions. Tuesday- dissertation mark returned. It was a brilliant mark but I can’t help thinking a WHOLE year of super hard work deserves a bit more credit but I did it and did it good! Wednesday- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London (a must see if you… Continue reading A little surprised…
