On September 11th, a brave member of staff from Barchester Healthcare's Crabwall Hall care home in Mollington will be taking on the gruelling Great North Run to raise money for Barchester's Charitable Foundation. The Foundation supports older people and other adults living with a disability or mental health problems by helping them to connect or re-connect with others in their local communities.
Crabwall Hall's receptionist, Nicki Owen, will don her lycra, put on her trainers and use grit and determination to complete the 13.1 mile half marathon course that starts in Newcastle upon Tyne and takes thousands of runners over the iconic Tyne Bridge in order to raise funds for Barchester's Charitable Foundation.
Nicki has worked for Crabwall Hall for 18 months and loves her job supporting all the residents there. A keen runner and no stranger to a sporting challenge, Nicki has been training hard - she has already completed the Cheshire Ultra Marathon this year and has many other fundraising activities for cancer charities under her belt. If you would like to support ger please visit https://greatnorthrun.enthuse.com/pf/nicki-owen, all donations will be very gratefully received.
Nicki comments: "This is my first time doing the Great North Run and I'm really excited to take part. I have been running for about five years and I absolutely love it, I'm hoping to raise lots of money for the Foundation. I know all the staff, residents and relatives at Crabwall Hall are behind me and their support plus the money I'm raising will help me get round the course!"
