For some reason I've decided to do the Great North Run 2019. 

Actually I know exactly why I'm doing it, I'm doing it for the Great North Air Ambulance. 

5 years ago my best friend's brother was in a freak accident at work, the GNAS gave him a chance to fight, unfortunately he didn't survive, but what they did do was give Tasha a chance to say good night to her big brother for the final time.

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) operates three helicopters, 365 days a year, across the North-East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. GNAAS crews respond to around 1,000 call outs each year and on board our aircraft are specialist trauma doctors and paramedics, who bring accident and emergency expertise to the scene.Whether its in a city centre or a remote mountain, our medics respond to wherever they are needed in the shortest space of time. The helicopters are never more than a 15-minute flight from the nearest hospital.
