This September, Phil and Luke are lacing up their trainers to take on the iconic Great North Run. It’s 13.1 miles of sweat, determination, and hopefully a few cheers along the way, all to raise vital funds for two incredible causes that mean the world to us.

Why We’re Running

We are splitting every penny raised equally between two charities that make a massive difference to our local community or people we care about:

Gateshead Health Charity: A close friend of ours works within the health Trust that this charity supports. Through them, we get a front-row view of the amazing work the team does every single day to care for the health and well-being of people across Gateshead.

Claire House Children’s Hospice: Situated where we live, Claire House is a local charity very close to our hearts. They provide incredible care, support, and light to children with serious and terminal illnesses, as well as their families, during the toughest times imaginable.

How You Can Help

Completing a half marathon is no small feat, but knowing we are supporting these two fantastic organisations will keep our legs moving all the way to South Shields.

Whether it's the cost of a coffee or a larger pledge, every single donation helps us reach our goal and directly impacts lives in our community. If you aren't able to donate right now, sharing our page with friends and family would mean just as much!

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity. Wish us luck!

Phil & Luke
