What was your favourite part about completing the Great North Run for Shine?

‘Pushing myself to accomplish a half marathon, something I did not think I would be able to achieve. Also being able to provide support for those who may experience a similar situation to what me and my partner went through. Go for it! It's a great feeling giving a little back’ 

Matt - a #TeamShine Great North Runner
