Story

Hi,

This September, I’ll be hoping to complete my first ever Great North Run to raise money for the Newcastle Hospitals charity, which includes the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation for cancer research.

Our family has benefitted directly from the amazing work they do and I’m hoping to show my thanks by running this incredible race. I had originally planned to do this alongside my dad but this summer he’ll be in hospital getting a stem cell transplant and won’t be able to join me.

I know he will receive the best care and I would love to help others get this too, thanks to this charity!

I hope you will support me in this journey by donating whatever you feel comfortable giving. Even if you can’t donate this time please keep the charity in mind for the future

Thanks and wish me luck!
