It's official, the Great North Run is just one week today! Three incredible people from our community are lacing up their trainers to take on this legendary race in support of our charity, and we could not be prouder. Meet our fabulous trio: Paula, our very own, much loved Cafe Coordinator, Adrian and Eve. In just seven days, all three will take on 13.1 miles through the streets of Newcastle, tackling one of the biggest and most iconic half marathons in the world. From the start line in Newcastle to the finish by the coast in South Shields, thousands of runners come together each year for this incredible event, and this year, Paula, Adrian and Eve will be among them, running for us. What it means Every step of those 13.1 miles will be in support of our cause, and every mile takes real determination, training and heart. Whether it's early morning runs, sore legs, or nerves creeping in as race day approaches, our three runners have put in the work, and now it's our turn to show up for them. Get Behind Them! With just one week left, now is the perfect time to send some love, share their fundraising pages, and help them smash their targets before they even hit the start line. You can support their fundraising efforts here: 🎗️ Paula Gregory is fundraising for MS Therapy Centre at Bristol (Paula and Adrian have a joint fundraising page) 🎗️ Eve Dodd is fundraising for MS Therapy Centre at Bristol Every donation, share, and word of encouragement helps carry them through those final training days and all the way to the finish line. So here's to Paula, Adrian and Eve, thank you for taking on this challenge for us. We'll be cheering as loud as we can. Good luck, team, you've got this!
