Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Akam, 19, is to complete the course despite suffering from diabetes as she wants to do her bit for the charity, reports In-Cumbria.<\/p>\n<p>The Whitehaven teenager has some experience of running long distances, having previously represented Cumbria and the north-west in cross country.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;A lot of friends and my younger brother are soldiers in the army so it only seemed right to support a charity that does so much for the men and women who serve,&quot; Ms Akam explained.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to note that training has been hugely difficult in the run-up to the event, as work, studying and cadet commitments have all acted as a drain on her time.<\/p>\n<p>The Great North Run will take place on September 15th and will once again see runners take to the streets of Newcastle.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801624019-ADNFCR\"
