Sarah, Clare and Rob have signed up to run the Great North Run in aid of Brain Tumour Research.

60,000 incredible AJ Bell Great North Run participants run from the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne to South Shields each year to fundraise, have fun, achieve a fitness goal, and join an amazing running community, no matter their experience or ability. From the rush of the Red Arrows flying overhead to the oggy-oggy-oggy chants, Great North Run magic can be hard to understand – until you’ve experienced it for yourself. This iconic race has welcomed millions of runners since 1981, and this year we mark an incredible 45 years of the famous event. AJ Bell Great North Run X Mul is an exciting collaboration with Newcastle’s very own street artist, Mul, to create a unique identity for the 2026 even

Alison will also be walking 13 miles the weekend before, her and Eliana will be providing support on the day.

Why are they doing it?

One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate; it can affect anyone at any age. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. It is the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Help fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
