My Story

About us

As a legal professional working for Express Solicitors I have experienced first hand the devastating impact Complex Regional Pain Syndrome  has on sufferers and their families.  Left untreated, this life long condition can literally destroy the lives of those that suffer from it, and it is for that reason that I have chosen to run the Great Northern run for Burning Nights with the hope of both raising awareness of this awful condition and to raise some much needed funds for the charity which provides vital support for sufferers of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

 60,000 determined and dedicated runners make the AJ Bell Great North Run the World’s biggest and best half marathon – famous for its warm North East welcome, unbeatable atmosphere and the millions raised for good causes.

We’ll see runners back on the AJ Bell Great North Run, city to sea course, on Sunday as we return to our traditional finish line in South Shields. The AJ Bell Great North Run is an opportunity for us all to come together and support one another.

If you're unable to run and have to withdraw from the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run, you have the option to defer your 2024 AJ Bell Great North Place to the next year.  You can find more information here.
