Great North Run in sept - anyone still looking for a place?

[Fitfor60]

My son in law is involved in NECCR ( North of England Childrens Cancer Research Fund) who still have 40+ places available. This is a charity which is working to improve the treatment and side effects for children with cancer. Our grandson has leukemia so I know how important their work is. You would have to raise £150 but this also includes your entry fee. I appreciate not everyone agrees with sponsorship but I thought I would let you know in case you or someone you know didn't get a place and still want to do GNR in Sept. Oh and if you do run for them you will be offered guaranteed place for the following 3 years for one off fee of £50 ( you would have to pay your entry fee but no other fundraising involved)

The cut off date is end of May so please PM if you interested and I can give you contact details.

I think that's a fantastic opportunity Fitfor60 thanks for letting us know about it, the amount they are asking for is much lower than most of the charity places - I will let running buddies know about it. I have a ballot place myself this year. Hope all is well with your grandson and the family.
