I've signed up for the middlesbrough 10k in memory of my grandad Eddie, we lost him in a motorbike accident in 2013. Motorbiking was his passion and his motobike was his baby, he kept it in the living room! Even though it was what took him away from us, he wouldn't have been him without it and i would have never took that away from him.

I’m raising money for the charity DocBike, they combine a trained trauma doctor or critical care paramedic on two wheels, to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads due to motorcycle collisions. Working alongside local emergency services, they provide life-saving roadside critical care, whilst working at a national level to help to prevent motorcycle collisions from happening in the first place. They are a new charity so every donation counts!

I know 10k might not seem an achievement to some people, but I'm definitely not a runner! My husband had offered to do it with me and I'm hoping with some training, encouragement and knowing that I'm doing it to raise money in memory of my grandad, to a charity that could possible save a motorcyclists life, I can get through it!
