Over the years, the Great North Run has become a familiar, and much-loved, fixture in David’s fundraising journey.
Some runs blur into memory, others stand out for their colour, creativity, and companionship. One particularly meaningful year saw David running alongside his son James in support of Alzheimer’s charities, capturing the emotional heart of why these events matter.
Other runs brought humour and spectacle, with friends and family embracing fancy dress, including appearances as a gorilla and even a wolf, joined by Hayleigh and Frankie. These moments highlight what the Great North Run does best: Bringing people together, creating shared experiences, and turning miles into meaningful impact. Whether serious or silly, every Great North Run contributed to raising awareness, funds, and smiles along the route.
