Great North Run - Posted 5th December 2005.
It was a late entry for both Sharon and another friend Paula Goodson and finishing together, they clocked a time of two hours 30 minutes - just 20 minutes behind Sharon's husband George, also a veteran of all 25 Great North runs.
"Paula, a nurse in the Chemotherapy Day Unit at Sunderland Royal Hospital treated my friend and we wanted to do something to recognise the tremendous work the nurses do in hospitals, hospices and people's homes. We had a great day and between the three of us, we raised over £900 which the Company has made up to £1000," said Sharon.
"We had a fun day - and our aims to raise some cash and get on the television were met. We were interviewed by Sally Gunnell live on the BBC."
