Why are you running the Great North Run for Tyneside and Northumberland Mind?
I have ran and fundraised for Tyneside and Northumberland Mind twice before and have found it to be a fantastic sense of achievement and fulfilment. Having worked with the charity previously, and continuing to follow along with their journey, I have seen first-hand the fantastic work that they do for our local area. I’d love nothing more than to continue to support this fantastic charity.
