Leukaemia CARE had 150 runners participate in this magnificent event and I was there to meet them. My goodness, what a busy weekend I had!
We drove to South Shields, Newcastle, 5 hours away. It was the first time I've ever experienced anything like it... Here are the pics:
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside... oh we do like to be beside the sea...
oh we do like to walk along the prom prom prom
where the brass band play tiddleyompompom...
The charity village at the Great North Run - finding your charity's tent in and amongst all those balloons is almost as difficult as the 13 miles you've just run...
Behold the greatest balloon arch in the world: I want you to know we created that with the aid of our own bare hands (and 2 cannisters of helium!) We were there from 7am getting it ready for the runners.
One of our three fantastic massage therapists. I swwear this man never stopped smiling. They hardly took a break and massaged at least 25 runners each. Some runners arrived in quite a sore state but all walked away, many of them smiling too!
Some of our runners - they appeared on the BBC website!

Which was the better song? Everybody Wants To Rule The World or Everybody Wants To RUN The World - same band, cheap marketing ploy? You decide. A bit like Chris De Burgh releasing A Spaceman Came Travelling...At Christmas. Everyone knew it was about that anyway - but he's probably laughing all the way to the bank with Noddy Holder all the same
