She's ready to complete the Great North Run for the National Autistic Society despite only starting running 6 months ago I have been overweight (obese) for nearly 10 years since having my son. I am a single Mum that works full time and my son has epilepsy diabetes and autism so it was difficult to find time to do any exercise I started doing Zumba and running during my lunch time at work to stop myself gaining anymore weight. In January 2011 I really began to turn my life around after meeting my wonderful husband to be 2 years ago I have been happy and finally found that motivation I needed. I am running the Great North Run in 7 weeks time to raise money for the National Autustic society and hope to go on to do a marathon. I know I can motivate and inspire others to do the same if I can do it so can you ;)
