WE’D like to ask your readers to get their running shoes on and sign up for this year’s Great North Run – the world’s largest half marathon – and help fight meningitis.
Meningitis Now is looking for extra runners to join its team, but hurry – registration closes at 10am on Monday, July 7.
To tempt people we’ve lowered the registration fee to £5.
You get a running vest or T-shirt, an information pack, and a sports massage at our post-race reception. The 13.1 mile race takes place on Sunday, September 7 and this year we expect the millionth runner cross the finish line in South Shields. It could be you. To take part, visit meningitisnow.org or email beckyj@meningitisnow.org
Becky Jones, Meningitis Now.
