Our amazing kids absolutely smashed it today at the AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great North Run 🏃♀️🏃♂️💨 — full of energy, smiles, and determination, all in support of MISSEDABEAT ❤️💙💛❤️💙
💥 And let’s give a HUGE shoutout to the incredible parents — some ran alongside their little champions, some even took on multiple races (after a cheeky couple of proseccos 🥂😅) and still kept going strong! That’s what we call true #TeamMissedABeat spirit! ❤️💙❤️💙
🌟 A Very Special Mention for Leighton 🌟
👏 With his school and football bestie Al by his side every step of the way, cheering him on, Leighton showed true courage, determination, and love. That’s the power of friendship, team spirit, and family. 💛❤️💙
Leighton, you carried your dad’s memory with every stride today, and we know he would be bursting with pride. Everyone at MISSEDABEAT is so proud of you too — you are an inspiration to us all 💙✨
🌟 To top it all off, the kids had the chance to meet the Gladiators 💪 and even chat with the amazing Joe Wicks! 🙌 Joe not only spoke with Mark Preston from MISSEDABEAT and posed for a brilliant picture, but he also spent time talking with some of the kids and parents and took photos with them too — creating memories they’ll never forget. ❤️💙
But this isn’t just about medals or miles. This is about saving lives. Every step taken today raised awareness for the importance of having defibrillators and bleed control kits in our communities. Together, we are making a real difference. ❤️💙❤️💙
🌍 Every single runner, parent, supporter and cheerleader is now officially part of our MISSEDABEAT family. You’ve shown passion, commitment and heart — and we’re only just getting started. ❤️💙💛❤️💙
⚡️ Next year we’re going bigger, louder, and stronger. And trust us — you’ll want to be part of it. ❤️💙❤️💙
🎉 Watch this space — a team celebration is coming soon, because achievements like today deserve to be celebrated TOGETHER! ❤️💙❤️💙
