Congratulations Hugo - GNR 2024!

Once again our fabulous Chair, Dr Hugo Minney has completed the Great North Run on our behalf. The Great North Run is a spectacular event for the whole region and it is so brilliant to see so many people running on behalf of so many charities.

We are always grateful for the time and effort Hugo repeatedly puts in to such an event. His barefoot running is a great conversation starter!
