Together we are beating cancer
2019 Simplyhealth Great North Run
Sun 8 Sep 2019 - Sun 8 Sep 2019
We are running the Great North Run 2019 in honour of our very dear friend Sophie Lillywhite. Sophie was a wonderfully kind hearted, beautiful soul who we sadly lost in 2018. We all met at Newcastle University and will return to where it all began in 2005 to pay tribute to Sophie by running the biggest half marathon in this city that she loved. As well as running in memory of Sophie we also want to raise money for Cancer Research UK to support research and to try and beat the disease.
CAUSE
Our work has helped double cancer survival in the UK in the last 50 years. Despite this incredible progress, there’s more to be done. Nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime. Help us carry out world-class research into the prevention, detection and treatment of more than 200 types of cancer.
With Cancer Research UK Giving Pages more of the money raised goes towards beating cancer. Aside from the credit and debit card fees, every penny donated goes to Cancer Research UK.
All donations made to this page will automatically be transferred to Cancer Research UK.
