Debbie Bowling-Mowatt was challenged to take on the Great North Run by her late wife, Lindsay, who was a firefighter.
Ms Bowling-Mowatt and a team, including her father’s former colleagues from the fire service, will be fundraising for The Brain Tumour Charity.
She said: “It’s coming up to nearly a year since Lindsay passed, this just means the absolute world to me and everybody else that’s doing it – I just want to get over that finish line.”
