Dame Tanni Greay Thomson

Nothing to do with functional skills at all this post. Just to show how inclusive the Great North Run is, I was struggling up to the water stop at 9 miles in what felt like 35 degrees of blazing sunshine (in reality it was just a nice day).

Now I always pick the water up at the end of the queue because there are less queues there and I had to double take as I was handed my bottle by Dame Tanni-Grey Thomson.

Now retired from racing she was just along to help out!
