Story

We’ll be running the Great North Run this year to raise funds for Marie Curie and in memory of Patricia Smith and John Hill, who both sadly passed away after battles with Cancer. Patricia and John’s unwavering kindness, love and support is such a motivation to challenge ourselves and raise money to support patients and families through a similar situation.

Marie Curie provides incredible care and support, for patients and their families. Donations will help them to continue to provide vital care and support to people living with a terminal illness, and their families at the toughest time. Even something as small as a phone call from Marie Curie goes an incredibly long way.
