Our friend and colleague Phil McGrath is doing the Great North Run on Sunday 8th September.

Phil launched his '60 over 60 challenge' - he's taking on 60 challenges before his 60th birthday next year. So far he has has taken a selfie with a Harlem Globetrotter basketball player, ran the Tolkien Trail, taken on a game of 'electric shock' laser tag in Morecambe, and completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. Now he hopes to add the Great North Run to the list!

Phil is also taking on his own personal challenge having recently been diagnosed with non-curative lung cancer, after twice beating cancer before.

He has begun a course of chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatment, and says that beating cancer again has been added to his list of challenges.

We're all behind you, Phil!
