Hello everyone! - Please share this among your friends.

I previously completed the York 10k in memory of my daughter, Sophie.

Now the time has come around for the Great North Run which I will be partaking in on Sunday 13th September.

All donations made through JustGiving go straight to Candlelighters.

The Candlelighters is Yorkshire’s pre eminent children’s cancer charity, providing practical, emotional and financial support to children and their families living with cancer in Yorkshire.

Any amount can be donated and will be massively appreciated by myself and the charity.

Many Thanks

John Drake
