I’m here in Newcastle ready for tomorrow’s run, raising money for Macmillan. Are there any other board members taking part?

I’m not but a friend of mine is running for the Samaritans.
Have a great time! I’ve been to watch a few times and always a supportive atmosphere.

I live along the run route and it’s always a great day, I love watching (could never do it myself!) and it always makes me proud of the North East! Good luck to anyone running 😊

Well done for completing the London marathon. I love these big events for the reason you’ve said, it’s a great experience, where you come in the race doesn’t matter; it’s all about soaking up the atmosphere and being part of something special. |
