Story
Hi, I'm Mark and I'm running the 2021 Great North Run as part of the Wee Ann's Weans team, a group of 10 of us made up of my brother and sisters, my nieces and my own children, see the link at the bottom of this page to see the Team page and full narrative. Our Mum, Ann, was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia in 2017, and has been cared for at home since by our wonderful dad Patsy.
Approaching 50 soon and taking this on after a few years absence is quite daunting, although I'll be driven on by the support pledged through this page, anything you can give is very much appreciated and helps Alzheimer's Society continue the fantastic work they do.
Many thanks
Mark
