Great North Runners raise over £5,000!
A huge shout-out to FareShare North East’s 13 heroic runners in the 2025 Great North Run this year, raising over £5,000!
Special highlights include:
- CEO, Jake Hanmore, looking proud as punch to finish.
- Volunteer Ruth Stokes, who wore her heart, and our apple, on her nails.
Ruth’s run had a twist: the visually impaired runner she was guiding had to drop out after seven miles due to health issues. But Ruth was determined. She went ahead and organised her own “Great North Run” with her club, the Prudhoe Plodders, complete with a finish line, cheering squad, and even a custom medal!
She’s raised £500 for FareShare North East, every penny of it turning surplus food into support for local communities.
