AJ Bell Great North Run 2023

In September 2023, we were proud to launch our Supported Runner programme at the Great North Run in Newcastle. We were fortunate to have 18 runners taking part on behalf of the foundation, including six as part of the Supported Runner programme.

Mark Ellis (visually impaired), Louise Simpson (visually impaired), Michael Oliver (support runner for Mark), Jo Kilkenny (support runner for Louise), Kate Hatton (support runner), Michael Duffield (support runner) all took part alongside our founder Richard Whitehead MBE, whilst Debi Crouch (support runner volunteer) provided invaluable logistical support.

Our thanks go to both Nissan and the Great Run Series for their huge support and generosity in enabling the programme to launch at such a prestigious event.
