A CHARITY boss is practising what she preaches - and preparing to take part in some gruelling fundraising herself.
Dianne Asher, chief executive of the Harrogate-based Henshaws Society for Blind People, will join a team in the Great North Run.
The 51-year-old hopes to raise £6,000 for the charity, which helps blind and visually-impaired people across the north and also runs Henshaws College in Harrogate.
Mrs Asher, who will run with husband Mike, ran the London Marathon in 2001, but has only recently had an operation on her foot.
