Sophie Raworth takes on the Great North Run

We're absolutely delighted that Sophie Raworth has chosen to raise money for the NNU when she runs the Great North Run on Sunday 5th October.





The Great North Run is the world's biggest and most prestigious half marathon and is run between Newcastle-upon-Tyne and South Shields. Running a half marathon is quite a feat, not least when you've only recently had a baby as Sophie has.

We're hugely grateful for your efforts, Sophie. Good luck and we hope the sun shines!

You can sponsor Sophie through her page on Justgiving.

The Great North Run will be shown live on BBC1 on Sunday October 5th from 9.30am until 1.30pm.
