"Nathan, and our cousin Helen, took part in the 1-mile ‘Run Like A Legend’ race at Durham City Run Festival. Nathan chose to run his race for St Cuthbert’s to ‘repay them for their kindness’ in looking after his Dad. He completed the race in 10m 39sec. Thanks to our generous family, friends, and even people we have never met before, he raised over £1,600 for the Hospice."
