One Way to Drum Up Support

With my challenge complete, I was delighted to see the local papers had taken an interest in my challenge again.

I knew there was a Northern Echo photographer there on my last day so the chances were high that I’d be featured again. I was on all three local news sites and delighted to be featured in two of the papers. They featured a group shot this time, which I’m over the moon about. The support I’ve had from fellow runners has been incredible so I’m delighted to see some of them featured. It was also nice to have my family on there too as they’ve been incredible.
