The countdown is on for the world's biggest and best half marathon, with over 57,000 participants eager and ready to trek the iconic 13.1-mile route from Newcastle to South Sheilds as AJ Bell's Great North Run approaches its 42nd year.
There are still a few places available to show your support by teaming up with The Three Tumours Charity for the event.
The Three Tumours are dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for those who suffer the debilitating effects of brain cancer.
Among those dedicated to this imperative cause is Richard Marston, teaming up with his children Jordan Marston and Ayesha Arundel, who will be lacing up their running shoes to make the journey across the iconic Tyne Bridge and along the North Sea coastline in solidarity with The Three Tumours to help make a significant impact for brain tumour sufferers and their families by raising awareness and funds to support vital research, treatment, and care.
It truly is a family affair, and their passion and dedication for the cause is in-keeping with the insurmountable spirit of the founders and the ethos of the charity.
To them, the Great North Run is not only a personal milestone, but also a celebration of the legacy of those who made a detrimental impact, as well as an indomitable show of community as the event has firmly placed itself as the heart of the North East.
Richard Marton said: “As a family, the Marston’s lost a very dear friend; George Elliot, to this horrible disease, so, we will be running this, with him in mind. If anyone wishes to sponsor us, you can donate on Facebook, just look for my name.”
If you are passionate about making a difference and want to join Richard, Jordan and Ayesha in participating in this spectacular feat – team up with The Three Tumours and join them at the starting line on the 8th of September!
