Flying the Your Hearts and Minds flag at Great North Run
A recovery worker at Aspire Drug and Alcohol Service is flying the flag for Doncaster charity Your Hearts and Minds at the Great North Run on September 7.
Stephen Mitchell, a keen long-distance runner and no stranger to half marathons, will be joining thousands of other runners for the 13.1-mile race from Newcastle to South Shields.
Stephen said: “It is a great honour to take part in the Great North Run and support the Your Hearts and Minds charity. Running this race is one of my all-time life goals and I want to thank the charity for making it happen. I am hoping to finish the race in 2 hours which will be a personal best but anything under 1 hour 46 minutes will be fantastic.”
Stephen has started his is busy training schedule which involves running around 30 miles a week. He will be running the Great North Run with one of his friends who is supporting a suicide prevention charity www.thecalmzone.net
