Graeme’s Great North Run Story

Graeme Fleming, will be running 13.1 miles wearing our very own โ€˜Percy the paramedicโ€™ 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, โ€œI feel itโ€™s very important to raise money for GNAAS not only as a little thank you for undoubtedly saving our dadโ€™s life but also to help keep them operating to be there to help others in a time of need.โ€
