Great North Run 2021 · 12 September 2021 ·

We’re Mind, the mental health charity, working across England & Wales. We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Whether you’re stressed, depressed or in crisis. We’ll listen, give support & advice, & fight your corner. Thanks for fundraising for national Mind.

Story

6 more special people !!!- Cath Slatter, Callum Slatter, Francis Stickland, Jake Gamble-Schofield, Alfie Read and  Katie Taplin.

2 years ago James Ashcroft took his own life. He was only 17 and had all his life ahead of him.

Out of our grief we have come together to raise money to help others who may be feeling like James, so that they can get help and be able to continue their lives and feel better.

James did the Great North Run in 2018- after mile 10 he said he remembered why he didn't like running!! 

We thought we would celebrate his life by doing this run together- which should (hopefully-fingers and toes crossed!)be a great day for us too. 

We have each pledged to raise £350 for mind-but a single fundraising page will help everyone wanting to donate to be able to give to the whole group.

With love to all of our family, friends and supporters out there xx
