Update - 2 days before the Run we're thrilled to be able confirm that so far we've raised £2,891 from the very generous donations on this page and fundraising activities undertaken by the time.

We are so thankful for every penny which goes to such a deserving cause.

Everyone's kindness and generosity will give us an additional spring in our steps, hopefully.

Thanks from the runners and fundraising team.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

On Sunday 10th September 2017 a team of employees from Leica Biosystems Limited will be participating in the Great North Run to raise funds for St Oswald's Hospice.  This is a charity who we have a great relationship with and we are so passionate about supporting the outstanding work they do in the region.

We would be so grateful for any donations you can make, large or small.

Regards

Bartosz, Joe, Natalie, David, Leslie, Tahnima, Vicky, Laura, Garry and Joey.
