Run Nigel Run

3-time Olympic Champion, 5-time World Champion, 2019 Berlin Marathon Champion and previous Great North Run Champion, Kenenisa Bekele is quaking in his boots at the news of the latest high-profile name to be added to the 2022 Great North Run field! 

Yes, you guessed it! Mitchells Grievson director, Nigel Rea has signed up to run in the World's biggest half marathon on Sunday 11th September 2022, raising money for MOVE.

Nigel said: “I'm looking forward to running my first ever half marathon race and raising money for a great cause. I don't intend to put a lot of pressure on time though would be happy if I could get round in around 1 hour 45 mins”.

However, off the record, Nigel has been informed that Mitchells Grievson Senior Accountant, Lesley Miller has a half marathon personal best of 1 hour 43 mins. To try and beat Lesley's time, super competitive Nigel has invested in an expensive pair of carbon fibre plate trainers that 'propel you forward with every step'. Early training camp rumours' report impressive results but some would call this cheating! 

Nigel first heard about Move charity through MGL Wealth Management Financial Adviser, Barry Talman who is also running the Great North Run for the Charity. He said: “MOVE is a great cause and the work they do makes a huge difference to those affected by cancer including family and friends.”

MOVE Charity was founded in 2016 by Charity Principle, Gemma Hillier-Moses who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 24 in 2012. Her main aim was to inspire people to Move Against Cancer. She is hugely passionate about the benefits of exercise/movement both physically and mentally when living with and beyond cancer.
