Rachael to run in aid of the British Heart Foundation

Taking place in Newcastle on the 9th of September, the Great North Run (half marathon) and the Great South Run in Portsmouth (10 miles) takes place just a month later. Both runs will be sure to test her endurance, but it is all in aid of a great cause.

Speaking ahead of the challenge, Rachael said:

“Originally I was only going to be taking part in the Great South Run in October this year. But I then entered a competition and won a place in the Great North Run. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to better my original challenge and do both the Great South and Great North runs all within a month of each other. And all the while raising money for an amazing charity!”

“Unfortunately, I have been suffering from a calf strain which has made training tough, but this will not stop me! If you are able to spare a few pounds by donating to support this great cause, I would be extremely grateful!”
