Story

I'm running the GNR with my friend and running guide, Jo. We did it last in 2021 when the route was changed due to COVID. This time we're doing the traditional race to South Shields.

Losing your sight is scary and daunting. Local charities like NVS provide vital support, advice and resources in my region - support that we simply do not get from local or national government. Every penny we raise will go towards services that are a life-line for blind and partially-sighted people in Newcastle.
