We have once again started our annual preparations ahead of our participation in this year's Great North Run. This year, one of our recognised airport charities, the Foundation of Light, has kindly provided all four of us with our GNR places. 

We have pledged to raise a minimum of £2,000 towards their cause. 

The charity engage with young people through football, which itself provides the opportunity for individual participation and achievement, whilst increasing skills and access to employment opportunities by connecting young people to the world of work.

We hope you can help us to achieve our fundraising target whilst we grind out the training miles in anticipation of the big day.

A massive THANK YOU, 

From Eric Wrightson, Richard Thompson, Dave Thornton and Ian Thompson
