SimplyHealth Great North Run 2018 · 9 September 2018 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Tony and Glenys decided in January to run the great north run as a way to keep fit and also make a difference. It's a challenge as Glenys said she would never do it again after completing the run 4 years ago. The weather has not really helped our training as running this summer in 30 degree heat has been interesting. We managed several runs on holiday in Portugal and the cooler temperatures and sea breeze/gales made it more pleasant conditions.
We are looking forward to the day and praying for cool conditions. We hope that the money we raise to make a difference for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Success we did it!
It was a beautiful day, very hot, extremely busy but a fantastic atmosphere with lots of support and positive vibes.
Tony despite injuring his calf completed the run in 2hrs 20min. Glenys completed at 2 hrs 39min. Lucy our daughter and her friends were a fantastic support team despite completely missing her mum and dad finishing. We celebrated with a cup of tea and a sports massage curtesy of Teenage Cancer Trust.
Any last minute donations would be much appreciated as we are still hoping to break that £1000 total.
Many many thanks for everyones messages of support and congratulations it really helped.
