🏃‍♂️ 44 AJ Bell Great North Run Runners for MISSEDABEAT! 💙

What can I say… I'm absolutely blown away.

This year, 44 runners have officially registered to represent MISSEDABEAT in the AJ Bell Great North Run.

When I think back to last year, when we had 18 runners, I could never have imagined we'd more than double that number in just 12 months. As a charity, it's an incredible feeling to know that so many people want to pull on a MISSEDABEAT vest and run to help us continue our lifesaving work.

And that's not even the final number...

We already know of several people who secured their own Great North Run places but have chosen to run for MISSEDABEAT, so that figure could still increase to around 50 runners. Watch this space!

We're currently putting the finishing touches to our official runners' vest/T-shirt, and we can't wait to reveal the design.

With less than two months to go, the countdown is well and truly on!

If you know someone running for MISSEDABEAT, please get behind them. Whether you can sponsor them with £1, £5, £10 or more, every donation genuinely makes a difference and helps us install and maintain more publicly accessible defibrillators and bleed control kits in our communities.

One quick tip if you're donating through our website:

• ✅ If you're a UK taxpayer, please remember to claim Gift Aid – it increases your donation at no extra cost to you.

• ✅ When you reach the payment page, you'll see an option to tip the website. This doesn't benefit MISSEDABEAT, and we already pay for the platform, so simply change the tip amount to £0 if you wish.

Thank you to every single runner who has chosen to support MISSEDABEAT, and thank you to everyone who sponsors them. Your support really does make a difference and helps us continue saving lives across our communities.

Let's get behind Team MISSEDABEAT and make this our biggest Great North Run yet! 💙🏃‍♀️🏃
