Next month the 2022 Great North Run is taking place in Newcastle and four wonderful people have offered to take part to support us.
Martyn Wilson, Andy Hartley, Andy Hassall and Laura Mann will all be running for us on Sunday 11th September.
Over the next few days, we will be sharing all of our runner’s stories with you and letting you know how you can help them in their fundraising efforts.
Today’s runner is…Martyn Wilson!
Martyn is completing the run for us for the second year running, last year he completed the 40th Great North Run in 2 hours and 24 minutes – a wonderful achievement!
Martyn called into the office last week to collect his new running vest from us and pose for some photo’s with Andy and Andy – see pictures.
For a bit of fun Martyn filled in our Runner Profile Form so we could learn a bit more about him.
