“Em and Ol take on the Great North Run 2025💙”

Our why 🫶🏽

Em’s lovely mum was meant to come and stay with her and watch her finish the GNR in 2024, which was in memory of Em’s beautiful nana and grandad / Denise’s parents (the G-unit). But unfortunately, her mum was in hospital undergoing tests for various symptoms, so we had to cancel our weekend in the north.

Not long after Em completed the GNR, her mum was diagnosed with an aggressive and sadly terminal cancer in 2024. She has been receiving care from the Marie Curie team at home. They have been there whenever needed, and the care they have provided to Em’s mum is always so diligent and compassionate. They’ve also been incredibly supportive for the family at such a horrendous time. They really are doing gods work!

This charity also means a lot to us both with Marie Curie providing amazing care for Ol’s Nana in the time before she passed away in 2014.

I am sure we’re not alone with being supported by the wonderful people at Marie Curie - their work is far and wide across the UK, and their work is critical. They provide support at one of the most difficult times of an individuals life; and their family too.

So please 🙏🏽

Help us to raise money by donating whatever you can to this incredible charity organisation. They need our support and donations to keep providing compassionate end of life care that every person and family deserves.

Your support means the world, and it truly will make all the training leading up to, and nerves on the day, worth it!

This is for you Mother Bear ❤️

We love you ❤️
