Story

🏃‍♂️ Sam, Josh & Joshua – Running the Great North Run for Tommy’s & Live Life Give Life 🏃‍♂️

This year, the three of us – Sam, Josh, and Joshua – are taking on the Great North Run to raise money for two incredible charities: Tommy’s and Live Life Give Life.

Tommy’s funds life-saving research into miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth. Their work gives hope to families going through heartbreak, and we’re proud to support them in making a real difference.

We’re also running in memory of our amazing dad, who we sadly lost after a short illness. In his final moments, he gave the most incredible gift – he donated his organs, changing and saving the lives of others. That’s why we’re also fundraising for Live Life Give Life, a charity that promotes organ donation and supports transplant patients across the UK.

Running this race is personal. And it’s for our dad and father-in-law – whose legacy lives on through the lives he helped save.

We’d be so grateful for your support. Every donation – no matter the size – goes toward helping people at their most vulnerable and continuing the legacies of love, hope, and life.

— Sam, Josh & Joshua
