Jane Underwood,solicitor in our commercial team and Katie Sharp, trainee solicitor in our conveyancing team took part in the Great North Run.
The world’s greatest half marathon this year saw over 41,000 runners and congratulations to the men’s winner Mo Farah (GBR) and women’s winner Mary Keitany (KEN).
Jane and Katie were running the GNR in aid of the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice and raised over £600 to date.
Jane commented: "Although it was a tough challenge, the experience of being part of such a big event was fantastic. The support from the crowds on the day is amazing and their encouragement helps to carry you over those last few hard miles. It is a great sense of achievement when crossing that finishing line, not just for completing the challenge, but for knowing you have helped such a fantastic charity."
