🏃‍♂️💙HE DID IT! GREAT NORTH RUN COMPLETE!💙🏃‍♂️

A massive well done to Adam, who completed the Great North Run yesterday for Cure Leukaemia with just 2½ weeks’ notice to prepare!👏

21.28km completed in 2:05:55! The legs might have felt it in those final miles, but he got it DONE! 💪😂

Most importantly, thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who donated, Adam has absolutely smashed his fundraising target! ❤️We can’t thank you all enough for getting behind him and this incredible cause.

But the fundraising doesn’t stop there…

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Next up, Adam AND Lauren are taking on the 2027 London Marathon for Cure Leukaemia, and they each have their own fundraising page.

If you’d like to continue supporting this incredible cause, you can donate to either of their London Marathon fundraisers below. 💙
