I am running the GNR for the first time to fundraise for the fantastic St Benedicts Hospice. The hospice provided outstanding care for my mother in law Gale Parkin towards the end of her life and this will never be forgotten by our family.

I am running with my best friend also in memory of his mum too. Amanda Ellis passed away in 2017 but also received the amazing care provided by St Benedict's Hospice.

St Benedicts Hospice in Sunderland offers free care, advice and support for patients and their families, who have life-limiting illness. St Benedicts Hospice has a long history and our experience and professional, clinical and volunteer teams are committed to providing the highest level of care in the future.
