We are thrilled to announce that our runners have successfully exceeded their fundraising target for the AJ Bell Great North Run 2024!
Aiming to raise crucial funds for Mesothelioma UK, our goal was £2,500, and thanks to everyone who donated and supported us along the way, we’ve gone beyond that!
Participating in the world’s largest half-marathon was no small feat, and our team truly embodied the spirit of endurance, teamwork, and charity. Every runner poured their all into this race, running not just for personal achievement but to support a cause that resonates deeply with us all at Lucion – raising awareness for mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure.
Lucion’s involvement in this race reflects our ongoing commitment to making a difference, and we couldn’t be prouder of the effort our team put into both the run and the fundraising efforts. Their hard work and determination will help Mesothelioma UK continue to provide vital support to individuals and families affected by this disease. Some of our team have shared their experiences below:
“It was fantastic to have participated in such an iconic event. The rain cooled us runners, but didn’t dampen the atmosphere – the spectators stuck it out in their thousands! I’m proud to have helped raise funds for Mesothelioma UK, and to have played a part in the total £25 million raised for charity.”
-Ross Boulton, Chief Technical Officer
“It was an incredible experience of participating in the GNR as part of Team Lucion, running in the wonderful North East rain alongside my colleagues and a sea of colourful characters and participants. The fantastic crowds despite the rain were full of energy and kept us motivated with their Northern spirit and support along the route“
-Nick Aspinall, Operations Director
It’s not too late to donate!
We may have surpassed our target but there’s still time to donate if you’d like to. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to making a real difference in the lives of mesothelioma patients and their families.
If you’d like to support our runners and contribute to this important cause, we encourage you to visit our fundraising page. Your donation will go directly to Mesothelioma UK, helping them continue their vital work in research, advocacy, and patient care.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported us, donated, and cheered us on. Together, we’ve made a real impact!
