Join an incredible team of runners

Isaac took to the Great North Run in 2025 in support of his girlfriend Lucy, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at only 17 years old. After watching what Lucy has been through, Isaac decided to run the Great North Run for a cause that is close to both their hearts. You can read more about Isaac's and Lucy's story below.
