A popular south Bucks animal charity if giving residents the rare opportunity to take part in one of the world's most popular half-marathons whilst raising money for a good cause.
Hearing Dogs for Deaf people - based in Saunderton - is offering a number of exclusive Gold Bond places in this year’s Great North Run which takes place on Sunday 11 September in Newcastle.
Lucy Ward, Community Fundraising Manager for the North-East, said: "I have been involved in the Great North Run for a number of years and it is a really inspiring event.
"I am always overwhelmed by all those people running for causes close to their hearts and the fantastic atmosphere.
"We have a limited number of places for this year so the sooner you apply the better."
Steve Haines, who completed the Great North Run last year, said: "The run went really well and the spirit of comradeship and help for others is obvious throughout the race from start to finish.
"The staff at the end were great. Always willing to listen to us chatter about our race experience.
"It was also great to meet a recipient at the end of the race, demonstrating the reason we’re there in the first place."
