Hello,

Emma Buchanan and Rachael Metcalf will be running the Great North Run half marathon on Sunday 7th September - which is also Emma’s birthday and she is travelling down from Edinburgh!

Running for both North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust and South Tees NHS Trust with sponsorship being split equally between both.

These charities provides incredible care and support for patients and their families and our staff. Supporting health and wellbeing, innovation and research and making patients experience in our hospitals that extra bit special.

Your support will not only keep us motivated through training and race day, but more importantly, it will help make a real difference to those who need it most.
