Countdown to the Great North Run: Jess and Lucy's Story

The countdown has begun! It’s hard to believe, but we’re now less than a month away from this year’s Great North Run – the world’s most iconic half-marathon. In the lead-up to the big day, we’ll be shining a spotlight on some of our incredible Team Willow Burn runners, sharing their inspiring stories and saying a huge heartfelt thank you for supporting their local hospice.
