Miss Anderson joined her brother Craig to run the half marathon event in Newcastle on September 13^th in memory of her Nanna who died last year.

Together they raised almost £500 funds for the Alzeheimer’s Society.

Miss Anderson said: “My Nanna passed away on the day of the Great North Run last year, so my brother and I decided to run it this year in her memory.

“It was a really hot day and I was happy to complete the run, although took a bit longer than I had hoped, 3hr 10 mins.

“The spectators around the course were amazing, handing out jelly babies and water.

“I saw Denise Lewis around the halfway mark, Tani Grey-Thompson handing out water at a water station and Jo Pavey at the beginning of the race.”
