Others to run for the charity included family and friends of Tommy Henderson. Tommy, from the Coquet Valley, lost his cancer battle last year. The Hospice at Home team provided him with support before he died.

The charity has passed on huge congratulations to all of its runners and has thanked the massage therapists and volunteers who looked after the runners in the charity tent after the run.

Reservations are open for next year’s Great North Run. To run for the hospice, contact Emma by emailing [email protected] or calling 01665 606515.
