Family trio on the run for charity
Thursday, 7th September, 2006
Everyone has heard of the BUPA Great North Run and many will have watched
the event on TV. But the gruelling 13.1 mile course from Newcastle
to South Shields will be a reality for three sisters this year.
Karen, Nicola and Sarah Fewell, from Northallerton, are busy training
to take on the challenging event.
This will be the third year that Karen (29 years) will run the event and
the second time Nicola (26) and Sarah (22) will take part. The family
trio are aiming to raise a huge amount of money for their charity, Butterwick
Children’s Hospice.
Until recently Nicola worked as a fundraiser for the Children’s
Hospice based in Stockton and frequently told her family about the fantastic
work the Hospice does. Her sisters could see how passionate Nicola
was about the charity and when they heard that Butterwick Hospice was looking
for runners they immediately wanted to help.
Sarah Fewell said: “Training has been hard this year but we all
have an extra incentive to get us to that finish line. We want to
raise as much money as possible to help local children with a life limiting
illness and their families and we are appealing to local people to support
us. Every penny we raise will go back into the community to help
others.”

AVF Marketing Ltd is the family business in which Karen and Nicola work. The
company is supporting the sisters’ aim to raise £1,000 between
them which will provide around 10 hours of care for a child.
Arnold Fewell, managing director of AVF Marketing and the girls’ father
said: “It will be a proud moment when all three girls cross the finish
line of the BUPA Great North Run 2006. It is such a long way but
knowing that they will be raising money to make a difference to the lives
of local children will help them on their way.”
