One of our Great North Runners

My Name is Tracey Short and I am 46 years old. This will be my first attempt at a half marathon and it might be my last! Previously I have run in Cancer Research 10k races.

I am running for A.D.D.E.R. because I would like to create some awareness about dystonia and for A.D.D.E.R. I had not heard of dystonia until I was diagnosed with it in September 2007.

I would like to raise as much money as possible for A.D.D.E.R. so that they can continue with their good work supporting dystonia patients and their carers and also much needed research into this neurological condition.
