Taking on the Great North Run in memory of loved ones and to give back to the Hospice that supported her family. 💚
For Sarah, the Great North Run is much more than 13.1 miles.
After losing her Dad in 2012, aged just 24, Sarah experienced first-hand the compassionate care and support St Cuthbert's Hospice provides, not only to patients, but to families too. Later, her Grandad was also cared for by the Hospice while living with cancer and Alzheimer's, helping to provide comfort for him and respite for his wife.
Although she never considered herself a runner, encouragement from a friend inspired Sarah to give it a go. Now, she's preparing to take on the Great North Run 2027 in memory of her Dad and Grandad, and to give something back to the Hospice that meant so much to her family.
Reflecting on her challenge, Sarah said:
"No matter how I cross that finishing line, running, walking or crawling... I will, and it will be emotional!"
If you've been thinking about taking on the Great North Run in 2027, why not join and make every mile matter?
