Story

I'm doing the world famous Great North Run again!

I am running in memory of Sarah Nixon and I hope to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK.

Sarah tragically passed away in January 2013 after being diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.

Sarah leaves behind three beautiful children - Oliver (6), Sophia (4) and Poppy (20 months). Sarah was previously fit and healthy and would be the last person you would expect to die young. She was the most loving mother you could ever meet and was truly devoted to her three young children.

The tragic story was widely reported in Newcastle Journal and Evening Chronicle.
