Roy and his fiancée Bev have raised £575 for the Alzheimer’s Society so far and would like thank everyone who has supported them so far.  “the Great North Run was an amazing experience and up there with one of our best achievements.  13.1 miles is a long way and the course is challenging from start to finish especially in the heat.  The support of all the thousands of spectators lining the streets and our family and friends who have sponsored us made the run that little bit easier.  We are both extremely pleased to have raised so much for the Alzheimers society so thank you to each and every one of you.”
