BUPA Great Run Series

"I ran the Great North Run to celebrate finishing treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma.  Whilst a more challenging half marathon, it will always be one of the best events I have ever done. The crowd support was incredible throughout the course."
Helen Swift, Lymphoma Association supporter


I decided to raise money for the Lymphoma Association because I work as a nurse on a chemotherapy unit, so see the support the charity offers to patients. I enjoyed every minute of the Great South Run and felt a great sense of achievement at the finish line, not just for completing the run but also for raising money for a great charity.
