We want to say good luck and a big thank you to those taking on the Great North Run for Sunshine and Smiles next weekend. Now in its 45th year, the Great North run is the world’s biggest half marathon. This year 63,000 runners will take on the famous Newcastle to South Shields route - among them will be Ailith Harley-Roberts, Tamsin Kingsley, Danielle Farrand and Josh Farrand, all helping us to raise vital funds for our support groups and activities and the move to our new home!
If you can spare anything at all to support them in their challenge, it would be greatly appreciated. Please find their Local Giving links below.
