Donna, 23 from North Tyneside, has been coming to St Oswald’s for more than 10 years.
She has pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, which is a rare disease and currently affects roughly 15 people in the UK.
The average life expectancy for people with the brain disease is seven to 10 years old, so currently is one of the oldest people in the world living with it.
Alison Chan, a family friend and Donna’s carer on a Sunday, has done the Great North Run before, and this year has offered to take Donna on the 13-mile route with her daughter Jenny, who is participating for the first time.
Donna’s mum and full time carer, Fiona, said:
Today's Great North Run followed a Saturday of events involving thousands of people.
About 9,000 youngsters took part in the Mini and Junior Great North Runs, with a Great North 5k also staged.
Elites were in attendance for the Great North City games, held in Stockton-On-Tees for the first time.
Here are some of the stories of people running today.
Allasa tweets: "My nephew Ricky Rueter and his wife, Stacey, who are running the GNR today. Ricky for Brain Tumour Research and Stacey in aid of Parkinson’s."
Julia Taylor tweets: "Good luck to Mon and Jo from Manchester running their first half marathon for Cystic Fibrosis today."

The parents of a newborn girl whose life was saved after her heart rate rose to 320 beats per minute are doing today's run to raise money for two charities which helped them.
Holly was born on 19 December and was diagnosed with viral meningitis on Boxing Day and discharged from hospital 48 hours later.
On New Year's Eve Mrs Hutchinson, who is a nurse, saw Holly's condition had deteriorated and took her to Sunderland Royal Hospital where her heart rate climbed because of an infection.
Among the treatment to try to shock her heart into a regular rhythm was dunking her head into a bucket of ice cold water.
When that didn't work she was taken to Newcastle's Freeman Hospital where she was given powerful drugs and, shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve, the 12-day-old baby stabilised.
She was then in hospital for 10 days before being discharged to her home in Gateshead.
Mrs Hutchinson and her husband Ian are raising money for the Sick Children's Trust and the Children's Heart Unit Fund.
Mr Hutchinson said training for the Great North Run had been tough.
"But if Holly can hold on with a heartbeat of 320, a half marathon should be pretty simple right?" he said.
Mo Farah has become the first athlete to win six successive Great North Runs.
But he remembers a time when running the race at all was just a kid's dream.
"I just love keep coming back and having the crowd and North East people get really behind you, and support you," he says.
"I never forget once when I was competing as a junior doing the mile - I didn't even win the mile and I said to Brendan, 'I'm going to do the big race'.
"I called it the big race because it was always on a Sunday and so many people taking part.
"And I said I'm going to win that race one day, and cross that bridge first."

Give him a cheer when you see him on the course.
