Graeme’s Great North Run Story
Graeme Fleming, will be running 13.1 miles wearing our very own ‘Percy the paramedic’ mascot costume to honour the critical care team that saved his dad’s life.
This is Graeme’s third time running the Great North Run, which takes place on 7 September. This time, he will be joined by his sister, Alex Ridley, who will be running it for the second time, also in honour of their dad.
Graeme said, “I feel it’s very important to raise money for GNAAS not only as a little thank you for undoubtedly saving our dad’s life but also to help keep them operating to be there to help others in a time of need.”
