Mhairi and Steph are running the Great North Run this year in memory of Barrie Taylor, Steph’s father-in-law who passed away at the end of last year. Barrie was a big presence in every way - and loved by all who knew him.

In Barrie’s memory, we are hoping to raise vital funds for Marie Curie, who provide compassionate end of life care and support.

Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone. And we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.

Marie Curie is a charity working across the UK and we need your support to do our vital work.
