Great North Run
Jane ran for her mum
Congratulations to Jane Core and Georgina Biddle for completing their first Great North Run in memory of Jane’s mum who died in March this year with Alzheimer’s.
“She had great help from the Alzheimer’s Scotland day centre in Kilmarnock.
With great support from friends, family and colleagues we doubled our joint fundraising target for Alzheimer’s Scotland and Alzheimer’s Society, going over £1500 now.
Alzheimer’s is often called a ‘long goodbye’ and this race is my final goodbye from me to my Mum. Thank to everyone who supported us and took the trouble to know more about this terrible condition that 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will suffer with by the time they die.”
You can support Jane’s cause here.

Andrew, Andrew and Katie doing a Great North Run
Andrew and Katie McCreaddie and Andrew Moores are running the Great North run on 20th September in Newcastle. They are running to raise funds for the charity Bliss which cares for premature and sick babies. This is a very personal charity for the trio as Andrew McCreaddie himself was a premature baby by 8 weeks.
The trio are hoping to raise a total of £1,000 for Bliss so why not pop by their page to help them out? You can also read their training blog here.
We at JustGiving wish this trio good luck for their Great North Run!
