SUPPORT ST GEMMA’S HOSPICE St. Gemma's Hospice currently has 97
people taking part in the Great North Run but is looking for more
runners to raise money to support all the fantastic work they do.
If you’ve already got a place and would like to help raise money
for this local charity Laura Robinson - St Gemma’s Hospice’s
fundraiser - will be very happy to hear from you. There isn’t a set
amount of sponsorship to raise, just simply as much as you can.
Just £25 would cover the cost of a blood transfusion for an
Out-Patient. As a member of the St. Gemma's team you will be
provided with fundraising tips and support, training information
(should you need it) and the opportunity to join us after the race
for complimentary massages and refreshments. For more information
about St Gemma’s Hospice and running the Great North Run as part of
their team contact Laura Robinson, Fundraiser, 0113 218 5570 or
