Story

RUNNING OUR FIRST MARATHON FOR THE TEESSIDE CHARITY 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

This year, Elliott and I are taking on both the Great North Run and the Athens Marathon to raise vital funds for The Teesside Charity, a cause that transforms lives across Middlesbrough and the surrounding areas.

We might have officially lost the plot choosing Athens, the OG marathon, for our first-ever 26.2-mile challenge, but we don’t do things by halves. We wanted to push ourselves to the limit – both physically and mentally – for the charity.

💙 Please donate if you can – every contribution, big or small, will make a real impact for those who need it most across Teesside.

📢 If you can’t donate, please share this page. Sharing is an easy (and free!!) way to support us and the charity.

WHY THE TEESSIDE CHARITY?

Running these races isn’t just about personal achievement, it’s about giving back to a community that deserves every bit of support. We are so proud to be from Teesside; it is full of history, resilience, and community spirit, but it also faces higher unemployment, poverty, and social challenges than the national average.

The Teesside Charity steps in where support is needed most, funding community groups, employment schemes, sports clubs, and well-being initiatives to help underprivileged and vulnerable children, young people, and adults across Teesside build better futures.

In 2023 alone, they supported over 10,000 individuals and have donated over £4 million to local causes since 2011. Every penny raised stays in Teesside, supporting those who need it most; those who experience poverty, disability, unemployment, addiction, and homelessness. Your donation can help change lives, offering opportunities and support that wouldn’t otherwise exist.

Thank you, Lydia & Elliott 🤍
