An incredibly special day on Sunday - ‘Running for Tim’ for 17th time at GNR and my 100th Half Marathon. Been a challenging few weeks and no records will be broken but nothing will diminish our resolve to support @mndassoc - “No finish line until there is a cure”

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Meet Dougie and Judith. On Sunday they will be joining 280 other #TeamMND runners for the worlds biggest half marathon, the Great North Run! 🥇

This will be the 17th time they have taken part in the event to raise money for the MND Association, in memory of their friend Tim.
