On Saturday 17th September, I ran for 4km to raise money for CAFOD.
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me. I have raised just over £600.
I had a fantastic time up in Newcastle.
I came 22nd out of 339 runners in the 13-14 year old boys and I completed the run in 15 minutes and 27 seconds.
Just before my race, I was lucky enough to meet Mo Farah, World Champion at 5000m and Silver Medalist at 10000m. He gave me some really useful running tips, so I am now thinking about joining a local running/athletics club.
