Trio of Enertech FM Heroes Complete the Great North Run
We were proud to have three entrants in this years Great North Run – the proud Geordies had a wry smile when they were given their medal, which depicted our neighbours Sunderland and the River Wear – it must have been a robust sign off procedure.
60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.
The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together on the 7th September and support one another. Its magic can be hard to understand – until you have experienced it yourself. You’re guaranteed a running event like no other - and a finish line feeling you’ll never forget.
It's not all about the adults, the AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run gives the kids a chance to experience that finish line feeling, earn a special medal & raise money for good causes.
Jemma Galbraith – running for Bowel Cancer UK
"Once I add the cash in, I will have £465.
It was for my friend she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. This has been a significant part of her life for the past year. Although her journey is far from over, she remains optimistic and positive.
Family and friends were there to cheer me on, then I hit the Emma and Gemma Stand, it was a nice little boost to get me to the finish line.
If there is a chance to support future adventures in your news article to boost fundraising, I will be completing the Shine Night Walk, Newcastle, Gateshead 10K on the 4th October – all donations welcome😊
