Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the 2023 Great North Run in aid of 'Berwick Cancer Cars'.  The charity is close to my heart having worked for them for many years.  Every penny goes to the running of their vehicles to take local people (Berwick-Upon-Tweed and District) to their Cancer related appointments.  The cars really are a lifeline to many.

Some STATS:

The charities 6 cars are used on average by 50 clients per month over 120 journeys covering approx 12,000 miles.

Fun FACTS:

Just like 'Eddie Stobbart' the charity name's each vehicle.  Currently they have:

Russell, Carol, Roddy, Fiona, Pearl and Thomas
(Learn more about the cars here: https://berwickcancersupport.co.uk/our-cars-2/)

It is great being part of this fabulous team of runners and always a privilege to represent the charity. 

Here's who I am running with: https://berwickcancersupport.co.uk/the-great-north-run-2023/

Thanks for any sponsorship.  Massively appreciated.
