Chelsea Bradford ran The great North run yesterday for our charity amongst tens of thousands other runners she completed it in 2 hours 33 mins 👏👏

We couldn’t be more thankful as trustee’s of all your hardwork time and determination you put into this challenge to benefit our charity so we can continue to support the families we currently do and also new families . The biggest of thankyou’s to you Chelsea ❤️

Below is what she had to say post run 👇

Yesterday I completed the Great North Run 2025 in 2 hours 33 in sunshine to headwinds, which was by far the hardest challenge I have completed! There were plenty of laughs, smiles & tears throughout the whole route, but something i’m pleased to say I have completed for the second time!

I couldn’t have done this without my cheerleaders racing from start to end throughout the day! Forever grateful for your support Ed, Mum & Eddie❤️

I also couldn’t have done this without all those who have donated, your donations were my greatest motivation. I cannot thank everyone for their support throughout my training & yesterday, from donations to text messages of support! Grateful doesn’t come close.

I’m so incredibly proud to have raised an amazing total of £890.57 for Miles for smiles (including gift aid). This will help fund a break away for a family going through uncertain times, so they can have a break away from hospital visits and make special memories.

Thank you for all your support x💜

Thankyou for your support Gary , wishing you all the best with the challenge .

This Sunday will see Chelsea Bradford run the Great northern run half marathon for our charity .

This is what Chelsea had to say ahead of her half marathon challenge .

After completing GNR in 2024, i’ve been lucky (or stupid) enough to be able to run this again! This year Id like to raise money for a local charity who I know provide incredible support for so many.

We have seen how much training you’ve been putting into this challenge and all of us at Miles for smiles would like to say thankyou for your support and we all wish you the very best for Sunday .

Wellsy for coming over and supporting on the final 200 miles .

My wife for everything she did at home not just taking care of my kids for 2 weeks but doing social media updates , setting up for our homecoming and sorting the raffle out .

The ladies who all gave up there time on our homecoming working our stalls forever grateful ❤️❤️
