6th October

Thank you for coming to our page.

Obviously the date has passed and we're pleased to say, we've all done our runs.  We'll change the picture soon so that you can see.  If you haven't donated yet, don't let that stop you.  Carer's Resource still needs your help and we'd love to see your messages of support.  Thanks, I, J & A.

The Thompson 'boys', Jason (10), Adam (15) and Ian (old enough to know better) are taking part in this year's Great North Run on October the 4th & 5th.

Jason and Adam will be running the Junior Great North Run and I will be running the full half marathon on the Sunday.  We couldn't let this occasion go by without using it to raise awarness and much needed funds, for one of our local charities, Carers' Resource.  You may remember, Adam ran for them at last year's event, in a blow up Sumo suit.

So come on, it's easy on this web site, get clicking and start donating.  I've trained right over the summer, even whilst on holiday in France.  Just so you don't think it will be too easy, you'll be pleased to know that despite all of that training, I got a big blister in my final long training run last Sunday, so who knows what the run itself will bring me?

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Carers' Resource gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

Jason, Adam & Ian
