Paul achieves his personal best!

Paul Edwards, Business Development Manager for 3T RPD Ltd, ran the Great North Run on Sunday 21st September 2003 in 1 hour 50 minutes 36 seconds, achieving his personal best over this distance.

From sponsorships received so far, Paul estimates he will raise £300 for Leukaemia Research, the official charity of the race, and £150 for a charity nominated by the family of Billy Bell, the North-East footballing hero who sadly died earlier this year aged 71.

Billy was among the most successful non-league football managers in the region and won the Northern league in four consecutive seasons between 1969-1973 with Evenwood, Spennymoor and Blyth Spartans. He also managed Tow Law Town when a young Chris Waddle was beginning his football career.

Paul says, "Having grown up in Newcastle upon Tyne I have always wanted to take part in this run since it started back in the early 1980's, but never actually got round to entering! Last year I decided to get fit again and thought that now would be a good time to enter. As with everything in life, having a target and a goal has meant I have achieved a lot more in training. My aim was to complete the course in under 2 hours, and I am extremely pleased with my time. Now I've set myself a target to beat next year!"

It's not too late to sponsor Paul and all donations will be gratefully received.
