Our GNR Champion

A huge congratulations to Nigel for completing the Great North Run in a fantastic time and raised lots of money for Move Against Cancer.

Nigel was running his first ever half marathon and prior to race day had been complaining in the office about various niggles to ensure he had an excuse should things not go right for him.

Come race day eagle eyed accountant, Sarah Armstrong spotted both Nigel and Barry (MGL Wealth Management) live on BBC, as they crossed the start line both looking very relaxed yet focussed on the task in hand. 

Nigel finished in an impressive 3,952nd position of 60,000 people with a time of 1 hour 43 minutes and 57 seconds – a great achievement.

Looking at Nigel's mile splits you can see he found the last few miles very hard, and he had to dig really deep to get to the finish line. Speaking of the experience, Nigel said: “It was brilliant, but I'll never do another one”.

He went on to say: “Thanks to everyone who donated and supported me including everyone from Friday night run club – I couldn't have done this without you.”

Collectively Barry and Nigel have managed to raise £1,800 (including gift aid) for Move Against Cancer and donations are still welcome via the Just Giving page.
