By purchasing a place to run the Great North Run with St Oswald's you are committing to raise a minimum of £300 towards the work of the Hospice. Our fundraising team can support you all the way in reaching your target.
Every penny you raise will stay here in the North East and will allow us to support patients and their families at what may be the most difficult time of their lives. We hope that running your 13.1 miles will be that little bit easier knowing the difference it will make, and well keep you up to date with stories from the hospice, from those you are supporting.
Good luck! You're doing something incredible for local families and we think you are brilliant.

Reasons to run with Team St Oswald's
In 2011, my hero of a Nana lost her battle with Motor Neurone disease. At our side every step of the way during her illness were St Oswalds Hospice. Not only were the staff there dedicated to the care and support of my Nana when was an inpatient, from early on in her diagnosis they provided community care, including communication aids when she became more unwell. They supported all of our family through her deterioration and helped her and us navigate her cruel illness.
