On Sunday 13th September 2026 we had five runners, Lottie Christopher, Daisy Howard, Louisa Rowland, David and Blake Bennett running and fundraising on behalf of Ellen’s Gift of Hope. On behalf of everyone at Ellen’s Gift of Hope, we just wanted to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to all our runners for taking on the Great North Run 2026 and running in support of our charity.
We are incredibly grateful for all the time, effort and dedication they have put into both the training and fundraising. The amount they have raised so far is absolutely amazing, and we cannot thank you all enough for your generosity and commitment.
Every penny they have raised will help us continue our work supporting children across Northumberland, Newcastle and North Tyneside who are facing challenges due to disabilities, special needs or life-limiting conditions. All fundraising really does make a difference to the families we support, helping us provide grants that can make everyday life a little easier and create special memories for children and their families.
Just a little reminder that our runner’s Enthuse fundraising pages are still open, so there is still time for friends, family or colleagues who haven’t donated yet but would still love the opportunity to support them and help us raise even more to go ahead and donate.
Finally, if anyone would like to run for us again at the Great North Run next year, we would absolutely love to hear from you. Please email us at delyth@ellensgiftofhope.org
