Marathon of the North

End Date: May 30, 2012 5:00 PM

On May 6th 2012, we will be running 26.2 miles in the Marathon of The North, the first major road marathon in the north east region.

The course begins and ends at the Stadium of Light and incorporates the acclaimed Sunderland 10K route as well as coastal views.

We are taking part in this event to help raise money for the Scottbellfund. Scott was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last May. MND is a condition for which there is no cure or effective treatment. MND destroys the body’s motor neurone’s meaning that muscles can no longer contract, and so simply waste away. More often than not it affects the limbs first, then travels around the body until eventually the breathing muscles are affected.

The money raised will be split and 50% will go to the MND Association to help find a cure whilst the other 50% will help Scott and his family buy alterations that they may need in their home and assist Scott in the future.

We greatly appreciate any donation you can make no matter how small!
