Great North Run 2019: meet some of the runners from our region
Almost 57,000 runners took part in this year's Great North Run.
The 13.1-mile route, which starts in Newcastle and ends at South Shields, is the biggest half-marathon in the world.
Last week on Lookaround we featured some of the inspirational stories behind why people were running.
Tim Miles, Bootle
Running for the Great North Air Ambulance Service.
Tim Miles is an emergency medical technician and retained firefighter from Bootle, who has worked with the Great North Air Ambulance Service in the past, and decided to do the Great North Run this year in aid of the charity.⠀
He was first on scene at a car crash on the A595 near Bootle in July 2017, where two women died, but GNAAS were able to save the life of then 18-year-old Ellis Marr who was critically injured.
He finished in 1hr 53 minutes.
Miley Todd's family, Allonby
Running for the Sick Children's Trust.
Miley died last October following a bleed on her brain. Her family have been raising money ever since for the Sick Children's Trust.
Miley's dad Dominic, her uncle and family friend are running the 13.1 mile course to raise money for Crawford House run by the Sick Children's Trust over in the North East.
It provides accommodation for the families of children who are in hospital. Dominic and his wife Lesley used the facility when Miley was fighting for her life at the RVI following a bleed on her brain.
Dominic finished the race in 2hrs 10 minutes.
Matty Foster, Carlisle
Running for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Matty Foster is a 19-year-old farmer from Carlisle who will be running the half-marathon for his big sister Sarah, who has terminal cancer.
He is raising money for the teenage cancer trust, who he says have been invaluable in helping his sister during her illness.
Sarah was diagnosed with Leukaemia when she was 13, and after the cancer returned for the third time, she was told by doctors there was nothing more they could do.
Matty finished the race in 1hr 49 minutes.
