I'm taking part in the Great North Run as part of #TeamStroke
I joined #TeamStroke for the Great North Run.
My Grandad, Bob Nelson, passed away in the spring of 2022, before I came to university, after suffering a stroke. He was a proud Geordie and grew up in Bedlington. He was a generous, kind and funny man, who always had a grandad joke up his sleeve. I now study at Newcastle University which he never got to see. There are so many memories and special moments I wish I could have shared with my him. I'm running the Great North Run in memory of my wonderful Grandad Bob, for all the memories we should have made and to raise money for Stroke Association.
This run will also not go without its challenges. I have a medical condition that makes extended periods of being on my feet and exercising or running difficult and painful. But with the right preparation I'm determined to prove to myself what I can achieve and raise as much money as I can for Stroke Association.
Any and all donations are appreciated, no matter how big or small!
Thank You,
Erin
